"Should nobody hire an American company any longer because there are terrorist elements here?"
How many times are you guys going to trot out this absurd statement? That we control our own country is a given, and we have the authority for policing it. We do NOT have the authority to police the UAE. That there have been and likely continue to be Al Qaeda in the UAE goes without question. That ports are considered to be a potential target of Al Qaeda, via shipping containers, goes without question.
So why didn't DPW ship a container from one of the other locations it manages, loaded with a nuke, into New York when P&O was managing it?
Neither P&O nor DPW are responsible for security. That has been, and will continue to be, Chertoff's responsibility.
