Logic Ports
I hate to agree with republicans, well agree with David Brooks and the President, at the least. Few are lining up on side 'a' of the ports security debate
Port insecurity, even the President is positioning himself to be able to say he wasn't fully appraised of the situation. I am having a hard time see the big deal here
Making Waves. When I first heard of this I heard it as a local story and thought it just pertained to the Port of Baltimore. My eyebrows went up, but after thinking about it they came back down. I admit to being surprised when this took on the its life as a major Washington crisis. I didn't think the story had legs
The Reaction: Panel Saw No Security Issue in Port Contract, Officials Say. Considering it again I can identify two questions I should have had. Adjacent but not identical to the Emirates being Arab counties. Would it be easier or harder for Al Qaeda to place a engineer or MBA sleeper agent into this company over any other similar company? The second question is; would doing this accomplish anything for al Qaeda? One way to look at this question is to ask would anyone working for this port management company be in a position to embezzle from the corporation or smuggle anything in or out of a port they manage? If the answer to both of these is yes, then there may be a problem. If the answer to one or the other is no, then let people get on with their jobs. Beyond this I along with many others see the administration hoisted on their own fear-mongering petards on this issue
Action on Port Deal Fails to Sway Critics.. I have zero sympathy for them. They have consistently taken the low road for six years. Simple justice desires they have a few random moments where they realize where they have placed this county
Outside U.S., Puzzlement Over Reaction to the Dubai Port Deal. Harold Meyerson ties it together with a column
Wanna Buy a Port? If you proceed under the banner of an absolute unencumbered free market, you will find that it really isn't possible to identify or introduce any other standard of value into your world view. There is only the maximal outcome. Getting the biggest bang for your buck.
