Sorry, I do not believe that to be true. This is the first I have heard this about the Dubai deal. That's what I mean about not stating the facts to the American people.
That would be the shouted down part. Even most of FR was in hysteria ande debating things that were never suggested. It came out early that we were offered special access to DPWs facilities, including permanent monitoring facilities in every DPW facility world-wide, which would have given us the ability to monitor something near 2/3rd of all of the worlds shipping. You may not have heard it over the din...but I did. The statements and interviews were posted right here on FR.
