WOAH!

ANYONE SEE THIS!??

The Dubai Deal You Don't Know About

expect ANOTHER FIRESTORM THIS WEEK!

The U.S. Treasury Department, which signed off on the Dubai Ports deal, would not tell TIME whether ISS's sale to Dubai was even reviewed. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the deal presents "no immediate implications" for cargo security. But a Homeland Security official told TIME there is a "big, gaping hole" in vetting workers--at ISS and other firms--for access to ports.

Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS)

Yep. That one has been out there for public viewing, and mentioned on FR threads the past couple weeks.

There's harm in rushing to form an opinion. Our "too fast" "have to be right" mentality has a dark side.

Yeah and an FBI report "proved" that Interrogators at Gitmo flushed a Koran. Sorry but I find the access to "reports" that just happen to justify people political PR unbelievable anymore until I can see the actually report, NOT just what some "unnamed source" claims. They totally misquoted the Coast Guard Report 2 weeks ago, how do we know this is any different?
