This is an artice from a web site hosted by a Bahamian Senator Fred Mitchell. www.fredmitchell@uncensored.com

You never to what could have been in the containers after September 11th, goverment bodies of the US need to check carefully what is happening, just 55 miles from the US coast.

Container Port Investigation - Reports say the Bahamian Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) has been reduced to hiding in the bush outside the Chinese conglomerate Whampoa's Grand Bahama Container Port in order to effect its investigation of missing containers.

Initial reports spoke of two missing containers from the port; both involved in suspected drug transhipment activities. Both were found abandoned. Now comes word that a third container was also missing and has not yet been found.

Meanwhile, DEU and Immigration are caught in the shameful situation of having to ask permission to enter the container port. Further, inside sources say that Bahamians to be charged in connection with the scandal were, in fact, attempting to cut in on a sophisticated drug operation being run on a high level at the facility.

Privately, police complain that by the time they had applied for and received permission to enter the container port, any incriminating evidence had long since disappeared.

This sort of arrangement could only have been agreed to by a Government with no regard for the sovereignty of The Bahamas. Shame! The investigation of this matter cannot be a whitewash. The main and true culprits must be found out and made accountable.

Small Potatoes? - Late word in from our informants is that drug smuggling around the container port may be small potatoes next to income derived from reported traffic in illegal immigrants on their way to the US mainland. An investigation is warranted here as well.

Thanks for the info, John. Down here in Florida we have a smugglers dream of a coastline complete with uninhabited inlets, swamp retreats and thousands of coastal islands. We certainly don't have the bodies or the finances to police every inch of border and coastline, or every existing business within our borders. We need to both pray, and make sure that we stand firm in our support for the Second Amendment, IMHO. And do this: Christians Urged to 'Make Noise' About Chinese Pastor's Pending Execution .

And one wonders why we should legalize drugs when what we would continuously legalize worse are the drug lords making their business legitimate. Same for legalizing illegal aliens most of which are criminals.
