I am one person who is glad this mob contract was never fulfilled:

The Colombo crime family reportedly had a hit out on former Rudolph Giuliani while he was going after the mob as a federal prosecutor in the 1980s.

The Daily News says the plot – revealed as part of guilty plea last week – has hatched in 1986, after then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Giuliani had just sent then-Colombo boss Carmine Persico to prison for life. In retaliation, Persico reportedly ordered accused mobster Joel Cacace to put together a team to kill Giuliani and a Justice Department associate.

It is hard to imagine what 9/11 would have been like without Giuliani as mayor.
