Dubai Ports Deal Would Have Made Us Safer Interesting... Say Anything <<< NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. missed an opportunity to make its shores safer when it drove away a Dubai-based company poised to operate cargo terminals at several American seaports, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Thursday. In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Chertoff said the international shipping firm DP World could have helped implement stronger security at many ports where the U.S. now has limited influence. "We could (have) actually built in some additional assurances, which would have given us more security in the wake of the deal than we had before the deal," Chertoff said. "The oddity of this, the irony of this, is that had the deal gone forward, we would have had greater ability to impose a security regime worldwide on the company than we have now." >>> That's a good point, though one that is probably lost on the protectionists, isolationists, panderers and knee-jerk partisans who got the ports deal nixed in the first place. feeds.feedburner.com usatoday.com
