Former CIA counter-terrorism officer Philip Giraldi, in an interview with Antiwar Radio on Wednesday,
said Giuliani “indicated that he was not only not serious about [al Qaeda terrorism], but seem[s] to
be ignorant of both the 9/11 [Commission] report and political realities in the Middle East.”
This answer came in response to a question about the controversy caused by Congressman Ron Paul at the
second Republican Presidential debate.
Dr. Paul said that the the attacks on the United States on September 11th were “blowback” from the
American government’s interventionist foreign policy. Giuliani, insisting that they hate us for our “
freedom,” demanded Paul retract his statement “ which Paul refused to do.
When asked for a comment about the controversy, Giraldi said,
“I think anybody who knows anything about what’s been going on for the last 10 years would realize
that cause and effect are operating here “ that, essentially, al Qaeda has an agenda which very
specifically says what its grievances are. And its grievances are basically that ‘we’re over there.
