HISTORY IS A STARTING POINT TO SELECT THE FACTS YOU WANT: Unsurprising to see Guilliani back dropping down to dirty politics, managing to get the republican convention to boo loudy at the memory of how the Germans (remember them, those darn old Europeans?) letting the terrorists caught in the Olympic Village in 1972 go? Even allowing for the reheating of something over thirty years old for cheap point scoring, we hope Guilliani feels at least some shame for not bothering to mention the circumstances in which the Germans reluctantly released the men when a Lufthansa plane was hijacked; nor that the terrorists were then trailed and killed by Israeli forces.
