Deja VUAE

I seem to remember John Kerry saying something about port security (or, more accurately, the lack thereof) during one of his debates with Dubya. You know, the one where he kicked Bush's ass? Oh, wait--that was EVERY FRICKIN' ONE of their debates. OK, then--the one where Dubya wore a wire? No, that was EVERY FRICKIN' ONE of them as well.

Lesson on the Perils of Secrecy

Americans owe a debt to Dubai Ports World for the storm the company has created with its pending takeover of operations at six U.S. seaports. Let us count the hypocrisies and the inconsistencies, the blind spots and the oversights that this controversy has revealed.

Until this fight broke out about a week ago, it was impossible to get anyone but the experts to pay attention to the huge holes in the security of our ports. Suddenly, everyone cares.
