Give port operations to Dubai Ports World, put one of their guys in charge of Maritime Administration. What else is going on in this story we haven't heard yet?

Whoa! First, we hear that DP buys the port facilities from a British company. Now we hear that a DP exec gets a big appointment in the Bush administration.
Again, it's time to start following the money on this one. This has a dank, unpleasant smell about it, I think. Somewhere, there's some rotting flesh.

I think you're stretching this a bit...he worked for a Co. headquartered in an Arab Country. He's an American citizen and he left the job to take the government job.

I don't think it's stretching at all. Guys who work for a company do not end their connection to a company when they take a federal job, for pete's sake.
I don't like this. I don't like this at all.

Yup, there is something terribly wrong here. BTW, does anyone know when P&O got control?

Dubai is just one of the Thousand Points of Light we hear about so often.

this guy will never be confirmed by the senate, especially if the acquisition deal is not killed.

Uh Mr. Sanborn has worked for many different shipping companies and is a 1973 graduate of the Merchan Marin Academy and has more experience and expertise in the shipping industry than you will ever have..
But you trash him to fill up your little tin foil head, Mr. know it all about shipping.

What a coincidence that DPW gets approved by Bush to operate 6 major US ports, and their top executive gets appointed by Bush to run MARAD. What a coincidince.

I don't know. I got concerned when this Dubai-based company bought these port facilities. Now, we find out that one of their top employees gets an appointment to an almost cabinet-level position...a position which regulates the very company he left. And this is right after the first announcement, so it's been in the works for some time.
So, we have an ex-employee regulating his former employer. Nothing fishy about that. Nope. Nothing going on here folks...return to your homes.
