The first face-to-face confrontation of the 2008 presidential race is looming over a US Senate inquiry into health problems suffered by workers at New York’s ground zero after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

As the chairwoman of a Senate subcommittee investigating complaints that workers were misled about air quality after the collapse of the twin towers, Senator Hillary Clinton, the Democrat front-runner for the presidential nomination, confirmed last week that she is considering calling Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and the leading Republican contender, to testify at a public hearing.

The health committee’s inquiry has presented Clinton with an intriguing political choice with potentially volatile repercussions for the presidential race. By calling Giuliani as a witness, she could place him in the awkward position of having to submit to her senatorial authority and face a grilling that might dent the heroic image he acquired for his response to the 9/11 attacks.

At the same time Democratic aides have acknowledged that Clinton might risk being accused of playing politics with a tragedy. Giuliani said last week that he was happy to testify “to anybody who has a fair mind about it” and is “approaching it from a nonpolitical point of view”.

5. She could easily overplay this and make him bulletproof on 9/11 by overly politicizing it

Here's to hoping you thread the needle Hillary.

6. There are risks to pursuing this strategy, Sen. Clinton

7. I hope Hillary's "focus" doesn't cover-up/deflect from real investigation of 9/11. Evidence at a

crime scene was destroyed/removed by Giuliani's "recklessness," and issues with his actions easily extend beyond those of public health (...or at least should for anyone with half-a-brain-more than * and a tidbit of respect for truth and justice. Give Giuliani what he asks for: "a fair mind about it” and “approaching it from a nonpolitical point of view”...for example, as physics Prof Steven E. Jones does at www.stj911.org )
