Dubai Ports to sell U.S operations to AIG unit
Original deal sparked furor after Congress raised national-security concerns

WASHINGTON - Dubai Ports World, the company whose planned takeover of major U.S. port operations ignited a political firestorm earlier this year, has agreed to sell those operations to AIG Global Investment Group.

The company announced the deal Monday. The U.S. operations at six major U.S. seaports in New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Miami, New Orleans and Tampa, Fla., were valued at about $700 million, but DP World did not disclose the sales price.

whew. that's a relief. For awhile there it looked like foreigners were going to operate our ports. Thank goodness this l'il ole American company's gonna take care of us now. I'm not worried that they're part of the privatized CIA and neck deep in 9/11, are you?

Who Killed John O'Neill anyway?
