Just heard on the radio this morning that it's twenty-one ports, not six. Anyone else heard the same?
It's great that Dubai Ports World will not be involved in physical security. But they can turn a blind to any irregularities, and what's more, place people in charge in management/ supervisory positions who may be sympathetic to the jihadists' cause. We're HIRING the fox to guard the hen house.
And yeah, it is pathetic that the world's greatest maritime power does not have any companies that can administer port facilities. Although, on the same news show where they said that it is twenty-one ports, it was reported that three other companies bid for the port contracts, but withdrew their bids because it would not be a financially sound move. Which, of course, brings up the question of why Dubai would be willing to make such a move.
