Too Many Concessions
Ready to be amazed? Well, you shouldn't be, given the Bush Administration's track record when it comes to dealings like this. The US Government has made concessions to the UAE company Dubai Ports World, giving them special consideration (for what reason, I don't know) and waiving requirements routinely imposed on any other foreign company doing business in the US. DPW won't have to keep records of any of its business on American soil (which courts could request in any investigations). DPW also won't have to have an American liason through which to deal with the US Government. Basically, they have free reign over what goes on and don't have to answer to anyone.
