Firefighter: Giuliani 'ran like a coward on 9/11'

(Original-Raw Story)

"We want America to know that [the Giuliani campaign] is lying to America and to the American pubic," said Jim Riches, a deputy chief in the New York Fire Department, "telling all of Florida that the New York City Fire Department backs him, when that's another lie."

Firefighters and their families vowed to dog the former New York mayor at all of his Florida campaign stops because the state figures prominently in Giuliani's big-state primary strategy. The protesters think that Giuliani was aware that firefighters who responded to the World Trade Center attack were carrying defective radios and did not hear the order to evacuate.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. (AP) - Former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik surrendered Friday to face federal corruption charges.

A law enforcement official, speaking to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the indictment had not been unsealed, confirmed that Kerik had surrendered to await a court appearance later Friday.

Kerik, the police commissioner under then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani and a failed nominee for homeland security secretary, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on corruption charges, another person close to the investigation said.
