Bill; the ports are not run by the English Government; they are run by a publicly held British industrial firm. You can buy stock and have input into that company. Dubai World is a State owned facility managed by the people who run UAE; the Sheiks. The UAE is not a democracy. The same ones who funded Osama.
How would you find those facts? The natural gas reserves are listed everday in the commodities exchange. None of this info is secret. It all must be made public for them to even bid on the job.
What is secret is the motives of the Bush camp for pushing this deal through the U.S. Govts. vetting process. They claim to be over there fighting terrorism and that fight is their no. 1 concern, then they hand over the managment of our ports to a country; and Dubai World is part of their govt; to a Sheikdom in the mid-east that supports terrorism.
It would be like asking Venezuela to run your local school system.
