From that lengthy paper:

"For the past two decades, it has been a common maritime industry practice for private port facilities in some countries to be operated by organizations that are based in other countries. This is widely regarded as the nature of trade and commerce in today's global economy..."

Everything changed post 9-11, and what had been "common maritime practice" has got to take a back seat to our national security.

A royal family that hunts with OBL, laundered his $$ and supplied two of the terrorists that attacked our country is a country we don't need operating any of the terminals in any of our ports..

So now the Royal Family "supplied" 2 911 hijackers?

Do you plan to demand that the ports in Dubai be closed also?

Right on.

IMHO our enemy should not be rewarded with multi-billion $ contracts

Ok, which royal family entertained Osama?

General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, Chairman of the Executive Council of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi
Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council
HE Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council
HE Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ra's al-Khaimah
HE Sheikh Saud bin Rashid Al Mu'alla, Crown Prince of Umm al-Qaiwain
HE Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman

Which royal family laundered his money?

As for the 2 terrorists coming from the UAE, can you point out to me which emirate they came from?

Abu Dhabe, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah?

Did you read far enough into the "lengthy paper" to see who handles our port security in Houston?
