Frist calls for halt to UAE Port deal

[KevinTheOmnivore]

This is not a practice that began with this administration.

If your argument is something about human rights un Dubai, or the treatment of workers, then I suppose I can sympathize.

However, if you think it's a security thing, then you're barking up the wrong tree. HS regulates our ports, not this company (which will probably employ a great number of the same people it employed when the British owned it). To my understanding, this wasn't some deal bartered bythe Bush admin. This is the policy that our government takes on dealing out these contracts. Thisisn't simply a bad Bush policy.
