Day 45

August 18 to August 27, 2007: It took only 9 days to "sideline" Captain Peter Bosco and two fire chiefs in a rush to judgement without any evidence.

August 27 to today, October 11, 2007, is 45 days.  Now that the evidence is available, how slow Bloomberg is to exonerate those whose reputations he has tarnished.

Here we will begin a recurrent feature, "Help the Mayor conduct his investigation". Here is a question the Mayor ought to ask Nick:

 "Nick, did FDNY deliver any Tyvek suits to Engine 10 while Captain Peter Bosco was there or before?"

At this point in the movie, My Cousin Vinny, Joe Pesci would be saying as he did when he questioned the FBI skid mark expert, "Come on, you can say it. We all know the answer."

The answer is 'no'. 

Has any intrepid reporter had the fortitude to ask Mayor Bloomberg, "Mr. Mayor, did FDNY deliver any Tyvek suits  to Engine 10 while Captain Peter Bosco was there or before?"

Of course, you will hear Mr. Bloomberg take the fifth amendment and say the matter is under investigation.  But when Mayor Bloomberg and his spin doctors clam up and refuse to answer simple questions, their silence resounds as Thomas More's silence resounded all over Europe in Robert Bolt's play, "A Man for All Seasons". Unlike Thomas More's silence, however, Bloomberg's, FDNY's and Scoppetta's silence resounds in a bad, craven way instead of a good, noble, heroic way. It is the silence of the guilty.
