In concrete terms, this deal doesn't threaten American physical security at all. I would agree with you if Dubai Ports World was a private company. But I think Neal Boortz has it right this time that the United States has never been attacked by a private company.

It's only because the company is owned by the United ARAB Emirates. Nevermind that the UAE is one of our allies in the war on terror, people are letting fear and prejudice overcome reason.

Private company ? Isn't Al-Qaeda a private organization ?
