When we turn the control of sourcing policies over to an international bureaucracy, we are not, in the big picture, doing what is good for business. I predict that if CAFTA passes, the resulting precedents will at some point result in statutes which prohibit even the private sector from engaging in non global sourcing. Some firm (or group of them) from overseas will prosecute a case against some corporation for "not having a sourcing process that allows bids from the `innately best' source," which just happens to be somewhere like, for example, Laos. Mark my words - if we allow CAFTA to pass, what I speak of will happen.
