Money Over Security

Money Over Security

Letter to Editor,
NY US Senators Clinton and Schumer are accused of being opportunists regarding the UAE lucrative port contracts. (Thomas M. DeFrank, "Emirates are steamed at N.Y. Senators, NY Daily News, April 17, 2006, page 8) Omitted from most reporting on this issue is that both Senators got substantial campaign contributions from the ILA (Int'l Longshoreman's Ass'n), the union that controls the ports in New York, New Jersey, Miami and New Orleans. Sometimes following the money explains it all.
