It does seem that there may be some quid pro quo between UAE and us oil interests that are leading up to this sale, no real solid info yet, but that is to be expected with the Bush regime.

Perhaps you could share the unsolid info, and its source?

Pacifica Radio had a gentleman on Wed. that said he was an investigative reporter and that the story he was working on involved US oil companies trying to buy larger stakes in UAE companies than was currently permitted (49 percent maximum at this point).  He was investigating this and believed that the ties between the oil companies and the administration were being used to allow the sale of port authority to Government controlledDPW in exchange for greater access to that countries large oil and gas resources.
