Coyote Crunch

What Were They Thinking? The coyotes have bided their time and listened to various arguments about the wisdom of ceding East Coast Port logistics to a company owned by the United Arab Emirates. Some respectable people involved in security issues do not seem especially concerned about the matter--after all, the UAE is an important ally with a U.S. port in their homeland. However, the coyotes remain unconvinced about the wisdom of turning these important operations over to a foreign country. It's one thing to have a company based in another country controlling these logistics (the situation before), another thing to turn control over to a company owned by another country, even an ally. Would the U.S. have turned port logistics over to a company owned by the U.N. (hah), or Canada, or the UK, or Israel. We don't think so. Bad idea. Wile E.
