If there is any REAL concern with security, why is this being bid to
any NON American firm? This is just plain nuts!



Bush's failure of a homeland security director, Michael Chertoff, was
all over the TV talk shows the last few days, trying to convince someone
- anyone - that it was a good idea to turn US port security over the a
company controlled by the United Arab Emirates.

What's next from Bush...contracting out the domestic oversight duties of
the NRC to an Iranian-North Korean collaborative?

And just as important - so long as our southern border with Mexico is
open, we do not have homeland security, period. The $2 billion a week
we're blowing in Iraq would go a long way towards making our borders secure.

He said nothing about port security. He was speaking of port operations.
For some reason, many of you are confusing the two.
