"One of the other threads tries to identify an American corporation in the business that has the size to do this piece of business, but it appears there are none. Anyway, this issue is about done."

See, there's another problem with the pro-port-action side. It can't get its act together on this argument either. I thought that the people who are running the ports were going to be the same people. If so, ANY American company in the business could simply take these folks and put `em on the payroll and take over the profit-collecting. Or was that it's-the-same-folks-thus-the-risk-isn't-worse argument not true?

The American company mentioned is not a public corporation and is not large enough to take the business on this deal.
