"There are truths and then there are greater truths. What you say is true but the greater truth is that the UAE is the home of many that cheered 911 and would be happy to help bring about another. Giving such people access to our security methods and data is just foolish."

Look, I work for a major major international transportation company. There are tens of thousands of muslims on the ground in the transportation system capable (at least theoretically) of enormous damage and mayhem. They know "security systems" a lot more intimately than any executive under a palm tree in Dubai. Your focus is totally wrong. It's" bottoms-up" infiltration you should be worried about, because it's 10,000 times easier, and cheap. These folks already have access to our methods and data.

How right you are. It's as if these critics imagine that no "Arabs" work at any port, airport, train station, etc. Do they imagine that DPW doesn't already know the procedures used in any major world port? This is a trustworthy company and our Congress is about to make a huge mistake, a mistake that will in the long run make us less secure.

Bottom up is a threat too.

The port deal is dead because Bush REFUSES to do anything about our borders. That is the long and short of it, this is (grass roots) payback for Bush open borders policy, he is not longer trusted and any deal he supports is suspect. And that my freeper friend is the story behind the story.
