For those of you that were "wrapped around the axle" on the UAE Port deal, this should be an interesting article.
Anne Applebaum, of the Washington Post, takes a long hard look at foreign firms that have management of what could be called "critical infrastructure", to borrow a phrase from Senator Clinton.
What I find interesting is that she doesn't mention that the UAE firm that was purchasing control of 6 cargo container terminals in the US has had control of the cargo container terminal in Miami, FL for a number of years. Possibly, even, before 9/11 ... I haven't seen the exact date, yet, on that purchase.
