This has NOTHING to do with Security.

When even Hugh "Never Offend a Moderate Mooslim" Hewitt wonders whether it might be easier for an Al-Queda cell to penetrate UAE management, it has, on the contrary, EVERYTHING to do with security.

I think HH is also thinking a few moves ahead. We know that ports and container cargo is already a potential weak point. If there is an incident that involves one of the ports in question, the prime suspect in the public opinion will be Dubai Ports World. Even if they had nothing to do with it, an investigation takes months or years and any investigation that cleared DPW would be seen as CYA by many anyway. The President would be in the position of leading the nation forward from another terror attack, probably into further war having personally gone to bat for those responsible for attacking us.
