Daily Kos: Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11:

Daily Kos: Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11:
"Giuliani's insistence that the city's emergency command center be withinwalking
distance of City Hall led to its location in WTC 7, right next to thecity's
major terrorist target. The building's lack of suitability for suchpurposes
combined with Giuliani's willingness to violate safety standards led tothe
location of an oversized, insufficiently-protected fuel tank aboveground.In the
name of getting back to normal, rescue and cleanup workers and theresidents of
lower Manhattan were not warned about air quality problems.Residents were
encouraged to clean their own apartments despite evidence thatthe dust and
debris coating them was toxic. Workers at Ground Zero were not madeto wear
safety equipment long after the urgent attempts to rescue survivors
hadended.Giuliani's management of all these issues was marked by laziness,vain
attention to pet projects (the command center at WTC 7 had a private suitewith
monogrammed towels and a cigar humidor) and wanton disregard for anyproject that did not satisfy his vanity."


Please read the larger post which is linked at the top for more details on the lies that have been put out there about Giuliani and 9/11. It sounds like he wasn't the one who started the fire, but he also wasn't the one who rang the alarm when smoke was rising in the years before 2001.
