John -   Exactly.   If we're going to do this (deny the port deal), lets be consistent - at least let our security services profile at airports etc.. Then lets ban Islam, ban all ship dockings, shipping containers, aircraft landings and overflights by carriers owned all or in part by any Arab interests, real estate ownership, etc. etc.   It amazes me how easily the loons in the media who have a tendency to shout 'racism' re issues like profiling look right past it glaring out of their own politically charged paranoid stories. Do they really think no one will notice?   A porous southern border ...now THAT's a scary story. Moving people and material into the country to hit us if they want to ...already a moot point. But is that the big story about security? Noooo...   Jed - don't you think that granting foreign interests a stake in what we have here might actually mitigate foreign attitudes towards terror attacks against the US? The strategy in the Pacific in the earlier part of WW2 was to "hit 'em where they ain't". Is that what we're still doing?   R. -----Original Message----- From: John Steck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 7:51 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: RE: Breaking News: Bush says "not to worry" Even while news agencies are reporting that new agencies are reporting this story wrong, they continue to report it wrong themselves.  The sky is not falling.  Do your homework before you spam more people with this overblown nonsense.   Foreign companies already control large segments domestic terminal operations.  The UAE holding company buying the British company in question is regarded as the industry model for intermodal container traffic and security worldwide...  UAE is neither a rogue state or a sponsor of terrorism.  Having this company take over would be a significant improvement in the current deplorable security of current US port operations in general.  And lets be clear, they would NOT be taking over the entire port, just an isolated segment of one or more loading/unloading operations.   This is sensationalized Arab bigotry for the sake of ratings, nothing more.   -john     -----Original Message----- From: RC Macaulay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 10:14 AM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: Breaking News: Bush says "not to worry" Howdy Jed, I don't believe the American people are worried about Dubya's security.
