Dubai Ports World, The Harriet Miers of Shipping
(My buddy Kvatch reports)--
Dubai Ports World has pulled out of the deal to run six of the US's container facilities. Check. We all know that. Halliburton has been mentioned as a possible replacement. Whoa, huh?!
The conspiracist in me encourages you to think about this in light of how the Miers/Alito circus was orchestrated.

The concept of using Dubai to make Halliburton more appealing sounds ridiculous on the surface. But with this administration one cannot entirely dismiss the possibility either. I suspect they genuinely wanted Dubai's DP World but since that fell through, they see Halliburton as a perverse way of making the best of it.
