4. Are they the ones keeping out the terrorists? |

5. Could they be any worse than Halliburton? |

Over at CNN the question was: Who would you trust to run the ports Arab companies or the US Mafia? The Mafia was winning with 64%.
The Mafia guys I knew up in Detroit were all solid Republicans. They were big Nixon supporters.

|
An underemployed longshoreman can be quite vulnerable to mafia or terrorist persuasion to look the other way.

9. Just an excuse to bust unions |
