I would like to retract my blog of the 23rd. In it as you can read below I criticized the Bush administration for allowing a security firm based in the United Arab Emirates to take control of six US Ports. Like most Americans with this issue I spoke in haste and ignorance (see Adam I'll admit I don't know everything). The "mainstream" media has been portraying this as basically a complete turnover of security at our ports to this company. This is a complete fabrication. True DP World is contracted to take over part of security at these six ports including New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore but the U.S. Coast Guard will be overseeing all security measures as it has done, is doing and will continue to do at all US Ports. The Coast Guard has released a report on DP World stating that contracting them is not endangering America in any way. The media and the Democrats have taken this opportunity to make a pretence of being tough on terrorism and to crucify Bush and his administration. Perhaps even if Americans can't agree with Bush on this deal we can at least look at Bush's record and the liberals record on terrorism as of now it ranks, Bush: 100, Dems: 0
