Hey Vic, it also pointed out the gaping holes in our national security umbrella. Would we have let anyone control our ports during WW II? If not, then why now when we have a global war on terror?

Pull out a map of New York City or Philadelphia or similar from 1939. Look at all those names of Steamship Lines on each of the Piers. Notice some foreign ones? Yeah, foreign companies were allowed to manage piers and warehouses back then too. That's all this ever was about. Its not about "controlling the ports". That's what our Port Authorities do.

I noticed you picked 1939. How about 1942?
