Rudy Giuliani is a rare politician of principle. "Mayor Rudolph Giuliani refused a $10 million check for the Twin Towers Fund from a Saudi prince...after learning the billionaire had singled out U.S. policy toward Israel as a reason for the Sept. 11 attacks. ‘We are not accepting the check. Period,’ said mayoral spokeswoman Sunny Mindel. ‘There is no moral equivalent for the attack,’ Giuliani said. ‘There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered four or five thousand innocent people.’
