[Poohbah]

Anyone who believes everything he reads on NewsMax is a fool.

I'm not "defending" anyone, I'm merely pointing out some semi-obvious facts that the article glosses over in pursuit of a lurid headline.

1. China's Hutchison Whampoa Company and Singapore Telemedia Technologies (STT) have offered $250 million for a 61.5 percent stake in Global Crossing, the South China Morning Post reported Wednesday.

2. the telecommunications company carries all the confidential data of the Justice Department, the FBI and the CIA.

I am not sure I understand your point. Are you disputing the two main points of the article listed above because it was reported on Newsmax?
