Arab Co., White House Had Secret Agreement - Yahoo! News: "The Bush administration secretly required a company in the United Arab Emirates to cooperate with future U.S. investigations before approving its takeover of operations at six American ports, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. It chose not to impose other, routine restrictions.Another report I read today indicated that Mr. Bush knew nothing about the deal before he saw it on TV news. I might be able to buy that idea, but someone with the ear of the president knew about it and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mr. Cheney knew all about it.
As part of the $6.8 billion purchase, state-owned Dubai Ports World agreed to reveal records on demand about 'foreign operational direction' of its business at U.S. ports, the documents said. Those records broadly include details about the design, maintenance or operation of ports and equipment.
The administration did not require Dubai Ports to keep copies of business records on U.S. soil, where they would be subject to court orders. It also did not require the company to designate an American citizen to accommodate U.S. government requests. Outside legal experts said such obligations are routinely attached to U.S. approvals of foreign sales in other industries."
