The Eller angle was covered on a Sunday thread in the middle of February.

Eller's 10-50 million dollar beef is trivial in a 7 billion dollar deal. Not something to be ignored, but not the center of attention either.

See also http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1593184/posts?page=538#538 for links to disposition of the case Eller took to London to try to stop the sale of P&O. (they lost).

Send the link, with explanation, to each of the shows.

That's part of the reason for the thread.

Good catch, by the way.

Thanks for the link. The saddest part of this whole chapter is it seems to be a lose-lose situation now. I hope that aspect can be turned around but it appears everyone loses except the Democrats who will try to keep using this as an election issue.

The one thing I'll be looking for, as this is discussed over the weekend, is what makes sense for future countering the claims Democrats are sure to make. I'm still convinced following the money and special interest group influence will eventually show the ultimate reason for the opposition to the Dubai Ports World deal.
