President Bush United Arab Emirates Port Plan is Insane
Dayside and Rep. Peter King Take the Proper Side of an Argument ... - News Hounds :
The UAE:
- was one of three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan (which King did mention)
- has been a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Lybia.
- according to the FBI, transferred money through their banking system to the 9/11 hijackers- was not, according to the Treasury Department, cooperating in efforts to track down Osama Bin Laden’s bank accounts(Hat tip to ThinkProgress for the initial investigative work!)
Another interesting piece of information that has gotten barely any noticeable play on Fox, or anywhere for that matter, was reported in the New York Times last week:
"In mid-January, President Bush nominated a senior executive of Dubai Ports World, David Sanborn, to run the Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration. Mr. Sanborn had been running the company's operations in Europe and Latin America."
