FINALLY. The Main Stream media is finally figuring out that the Dubai deal is for more than 6 ports (the 6 number was a false statement from the Bush Administration that the media never checked). AP: UAE Ports Deal Would Affect 22 American Ports nbc6.net WASHINGTON -- Sixteen other American seaports are affected by the controversial ports deal involving a company based in Dubai. A review by The Associated Press found DP World would also have limited operations in ports such as Boston; Baton Rouge, La.; Corpus Christi, Texas; Tampa, Fla.; Gulfport, Miss.; and Portland, Maine. DP World acquired those rights when it bought a British firm for $6.8 billion. That deal was approved Monday by British courts. The flap over DP World has centered around the significant control it will have over operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami, and Philadelphia. The company is voluntarily submitting to another safety review by American officials. It said none of its executives will control or influence its business in the U.S. until that's finished.

Just curious ... What gives the US, the most dangerous country in the world, the right to be a "nucular" power and try to tell any other country whatsoever that it does not have the right to possess "nucular" weapons? Again, just curious. /john
