There apparently is no U.S. company that provides this kind of service. Hard to believe, but...
Haliburton? Bectel?

Just like everyone else I'm trying to sort through the murkiness, but we're not talking about just a private company taking over port operations, we're talking about a company wholly owned by a foreign governmnt.
Others have pointed out how other foreign companies have invested in various U.S. transportation industries, but that doesn't mean it's right.
It is appropriate to be concerned about a foreign nation, particularly an Islamic nation, having influence over our ports and access to security arrangements and vulnerability assessments. Go ahead, call me names, I don't care. It is the experience all over Europe now that giving more Moslem influence over a nation's affairs is a bad thing. If you start taking a politically correct approach to analyzing this situation, you've lost half the battle in a hurry...
