Added transparency info.

In another display of publicity, Guiliani began prosecuting insider trading after an investigation by the [[Securities and Exchange Commission]] uncovered some illegality.  Guiliani then arranged for two Wall Street brokers to be handcuffed, put up against the wall, and arrested at their offices.  They were subjected to humiliating publicity, but were apparently innocent: no charges could even be brought against them.

Guiliani helped arrange for the Republican National Convention to be in New York in 2004, where he often promoted himself before delegates at special events.  But Guiliani's only contribution to the [[Bush Administration]] has been to persuade Bush to nominate Guiliani's friend [[Bernard Kerik]] as the head of [[Homeland Security]] after the 2004 election.  Numerous scandals then surfaced about Kerik and he withdrew.

Guiliani participated in numerous cross-dressing events hosted by gay liberals in New York City and supported measures to have the NYPD fix broken windows. This is a political idea known as [[transparency]].
    
Guiliani's personal background is unlike most presidents.  He avoided the Vietnam draft first by obtaining a deferment by attending law school, and then by obtaining a dubious "civilian occupation deferment" to serve as an allegedly essential employee -- which was merely as a law clerk for a judge.  Guiliani has been married three times. His first marriage was to his second cousin, Regina Peruggi. They were married for 14 years, before Giuliani had their marriage annulled by the Catholic church. His divorce from his second wife to make it possible to marry another woman consumed enormous time and media attention from 2000 to 2002.
