If Giuliani had retired from public life in the years after 9/11 he would have had a positive entry in the history of the USA.

Now?

Well...

The praise he received after 9/11 was how I first heard his name. Shining example of "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

New Yorker here.

It was out of town newspapers/media that pushed Rudy. Locals knew that he’d fumbled the terrorism ball dozens of times. Police and Fire Department were using incompatible radios and weren’t able to coordinate efforts; his anti-terror HQ was destroyed on the day because he didn’t listen to the experts who told him to put it in Brooklyn.

No one in NYC was priaisning him on 9/12.
