I'm fixing a hole...
where the rain gets in ...
and stops my mind from wandering ...
where it will go.

'Critically' Inadequate

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.
