U.S. Ports Raise Proxy Problem

This is the first rational analysis of the whole port security controversy - by a well known and respected cryptographer, no less! Read it and understand the fuss... I can certainly see my own initial reaction in light of this analysis, and it goes a long way towards explaining why this seems to have become a truly bipartisan issue.

The controversy over President Bush's plan to turn over management of six U.S. ports to Dubai is a proxy war between competing interests -- and it's not clear which ones are ours. Commentary by Bruce Schneier.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
