I am not saying it wasn't a crime or that it wasn't planned.

What I'm saying is that as Mayor -- it was Guiliani's responsibility to clean it up and see to it that the city functioned. If he had done nothing then he would have been derelict in fulfilling his duty to the people who voted for him. I do not see why cleaning up this disaster automatically makes him part of a conspiracy. I am not following your logic.

Do you believe the debis should have been left untouched? That would be dangerous and legally an "attractive nuisance" for curious people and open up the city to potential lawsuits. Not to mention the toxic effects already mentioned. I don't see the mayor as having any other choice but to clean it up.
