I haven't posted anything yet on the bizarre story about the story regarding Dubai Ports World, the company given permission to take over the port operations. Now I will. I mean, come on: a company from the Arab Emirates running operations at six major American ports? I'm sure the company itself is terrific -- well-run, great benefits, fantastic company picnic -- but do you think there's a chance a terrorist and his pals might be able to ace the interview and get jobs there? Michael Chertoff, the secretary of homeland security, defended the security review of the company but then, of course, his predecessor, Michael Brown, is the schmoe who booted the Katrina gig.
If this deal passes, how about we just hand Osama the men's room key?
