bush is so on the ball
4.5 years after 9/11, they’re getting around to checking port worker names against terrorist watch lists. um, shouldn’t this have happened 4.4 yrs ago? the only reason this is even happening is because of the heat generated from the dubai ports fiasco…otherwise, who knows if it’d ever happen. wtf.
“Answering criticism about security gaps at U.S. seaports, the Bush administration said Tuesday it will conduct background checks on an estimated 400,000 port workers to ensure they do not pose a terrorist threat.”
