On the other hand, Lou Dobbs broke a story yesterday about the Bush's ties to this deal. Apparently W's brother (Jeb?) is involved in selling stock related to this deal recently. I wish I caught Lou last night, but alas and alack the Demons and Ogres in Dire Maul needed sweeping.
Torpedoing this deal because of alleged political favours by Geedubya is much more valid than torpedoing it because it's a foreign government/company running it IMO. Less hypocritical too.
