Arab Protection Of U.S. Ports

Many are voicing concern over Bush’s recent approval of a deal allowing a company based in the United Arab Emirates, who had ties to the Sept. 11 hijackers, to monitor security of select U.S. ports. What do you think?

"Why not? Some of those al-Qaeda people have probably done much more research on our ports than anybody else."

Asian Man

Blake Greenberg,
Teaching Assistant
"Great. We'll be the laughingstock of the Muslim world once they get word of how many tons of flax we import each year."

Young Man

P.R. Williams,

"I think that we should have a little faith in these people. I mean, they were gracious enough to take Michael Jackson off our hands."
