The REAL Rudy

The REAL Rudy

The REAL Rudy is a series of four viral videos by documentary film director and activist Robert Greenwald.

The videos criticize former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani's preparedness for, and handling of, the September 11, 2001 attacks. They were released on September 4 and September 6, 2007. John Nichols, the Washington, D.C. correspondent for "The Nation", described the videos as "a powerful series of video exposes that have gone after Giuliani's bitter disputes with 9-11 rescue workers -- especially firefighters -- over his exploitation of the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center for political purposes and a host of other scandals involving the GOP frontrunner."

Viral video installments

*"The Real Rudy: Command Center"

The video has excerpts from various text documents on the screen. It includes the following from Chris Wallace's "Fox News Sunday" interview with Giuliani. [ [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,271917,00.html FOXNews.com - Transcript: Rudy Giuliani on 'FNS' - FOX News Sunday | Chris Wallace ] ]

The building . . . is not as visible a target as buildings in lower Manhattan.
It also includes the following "9/11 Commission Report" excerpt regarding the decision to locate the emergency command center on the 23rd floor of one 7 World Trade Center:
Some questioned locating [the Command Center] both so close to the site of a previous terrorist target and the 23rd floor of a building (difficult to access should elevators become inoperable). There was no backup site.

...OEM headquarters, which could have served as a focal point for information sharing did not play an integrating role in ensuring that information was shared among agencies on 9/11
