Giuliani style evokes concern among critics

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Republican Rudy Giuliani vows
to be tough on terror, chooses advisers who want
to bomb Iran and doesn't think pretending to drown
prisoners is torture.

Add to those views a reputation for being combative,
and Giuliani often evokes the word "scary" from
opponents who find the tough-guy image that served
him so well after the September 11 attacks now a
cause for concern as he seeks the U.S. presidency.

"People in this country should be very frightened of
Rudy because he is not going to bring the country
together," Hauer added. "Who knows who he'd pick
wars with?"

When New Yorkers reminisce about Giuliani, they tend
to recall his contentious moments -- threatening to
pull funding from a museum over a controversial
exhibit, disclosing sealed records of an unarmed man
killed by police, insulting a city resident over whether
ferrets should be pets, trying to place a homeless
shelter in the district of a councilman he disliked
or surrounding City Hall with barricades and barriers.

3. Yes, "scary" as in the dictatorial abuse of power, the Constitution, and international law.

Kind of like the current occupant, actually.
