How does Hunter come to the conclusion that the above underlined statement is true?
Link posted elsewhere above, link and some contents reproduced here ...
A U.S. OEE [Office of Export Enforcement] special agent based in Dubai learned of the shipment's arrival in that city's customs shed and tried to stop it from going to Pakistan, but was reportedly rebuffed by the country's customs director.

Thanks for the link. The link doesn't give a source. The link simply uses the word, "reportedly".
My question remains.
Fair enough. I linked a few difference sources, who phrase things in slightly different ways. I figure the general idea that some US guy was stiffed by some UAE guy is credible.
Whether the stiffing was reasonable or not, I don't really care. I think Hunter and others painted in a light favorable to the outcome they want rather than in fairly objective context. It's pretty easy to catch a politician doing that.
