NOW IT IS STARTING TO MAKE SENSE, AND IT REALLY MAKES ME SICK!

January 13, 2003, John Snow, CEO of CSX leaves and Bush nominates John Snow to be Secretary of the treasury

December 9, 2004, CSX World Terminals is purchased by DPW

January 24, 2006, David Sanborn leaves DPW and joins Whitehouse as new administrator of the Maritime Administration in the Transportation Department

Present, the fight whether to allow DPW into 6 US Ports

[Wallace T.]

Let's not forget that the last Administration was a master of quid pro quo business. Remember when Clinton locked up huge tracts in southern Utah as a national monument. These tracts had large reserves of low sulfur coal, preferred by utilities to meet clean air requirements. Interests of Mohammed Riady, an Indonesian who contributed to the Clinton reelection campaign, owned companies that imported low sulfur coal from overseas, received their reward in this matter. Then there was the matter of the Marc Rich pardon, accomplished in the last day of the Clinton administration. As for national security concerns, the Chinese received technology transfers from the Clinton Administration, even as Chinese businessmen contributed to his election campaigns.

There is circumstantial evidence of a quid pro quo in connection with the DPW deal to manage the ports. However, collusion between politicians and businessmen has gone on for a very long time, as far back as the days of Ulysses Grant. All the "reforms" passed to prevent the abuses, such as the recent McCain Feingold "campaign finance reform", is ineffectual in stopping the collusion.
