Anyway, I was more interested in your media adding "terror" to the story. Although it is now in our papers too.
This morning it was simply reported as a business transaction.

(Feb 21 06, 14:50)that's exactly the problem, everything here in the media has to be 'terror' this or 'terror' that. God give it a f*cking h*ll break for a day.
uhmm....

P&O are massive aren't they?

Sorry media and politicians.

According to their website they run 29 container ports (only 6 are in america) and have interests in another 100.

"I would have to look into it but I'm pretty sure P&0 don't rely soley on American interests."
Doubt it's much more than those contracts the deal is relatively small($9bil)

I would have to look into it but I'm pretty sure P&0 don't rely soley on American interests.
I doubt also it is that easy to just revoke a license for political reasons without some form of legal repercussion.
Anyway, I just though it was amusing that a business deal could have the word terrorism so easily tacked on to it.

Of course they can block it. Two US states have contracts with P&O to license the ports for 30 years. All they have to do is revoke the licenses and the P&O/Dubai World deal is basically worthless.

One sticking point is that it is a government-owned company in the UAE.

Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand how bush has the power to halt the takeover of a British company because America doesn't like the country buying it.
Although it doesn't surprise me that members of the administration will find a way to do well out of it.

skt, only 5% of the shipping containers are inspected as it is and this company is now owned by the government of the UAE.
Why is Bush ramming this through so hard and fast and threatening vetoes when he has never vetoed anything before in his presidency.
Plus the connection between John Snow and this Sanborn guy and this company is interesting.
Plus, whenever party-line republicans break ranks with Bush a red flag is raised.

I'm not really seeing the conspiracy here mr dobs.
America isn't selling it's ports to Dubai, they are already owned by P&O and P&O is being bought over.
Anyway it's the coastgaurd that is in charge of the security not the company.

So is the media in the states attaching the word terrorism to the sale of a British company to one from Dubai?
