Thanks for posting.

Saw QM2 leave the harbor Saturday afternoon.

The text is insteresting for several reasons. QM2 actually docked there last year although due to the official opening of the terminal, the media is making it sound as though this weekend would've been the first time.

Also, if I understand correctly, Manhattan Passenger Ship Terminal will remain active - servicing the lines that to not go to either Red Hook, Brooklyn or Bayonne, New Jersey.

Have to agree Red Hook might not be the place for tourists, but certainly Bayonne does not offer anything  either beyond convenience for some.

KvK looks pretty narrow to me too Robert, and I can watch it with my own eyes in person.

I can remember other ships running aground in recent years here as well, but there is no other way.

Yes, the media and the Senators are no doubt pandering to the fears of the "people" although the brazen "Archie Bunker" comment speaks volumes as to the on-going contempt for the average citizen. IS every long-shoreman now a racist?

Yes, the average Joe does have some concern that only Saudi Nationals were flying over American skies on the days immediately following "911".

While it has nothing to do with the "global marketplace" does anyone know who invited the "blind cleric" who was behind the first World Trade Center attack to come live amongst the American populace even above the objections of the INS?

One would think it was sophisticated folks in high places, eh?  And guess what?  No accountability.

"Congress is welcome to look at this and can get classified briefings," Chertoff told CNN's "Late Edition." "We have to balance the paramount urgency of security against the fact that we still want to have a robust global trading system," he added.

A day or so ago, some official explained this Sale would be okay as the ports are all run by "Archie Bunker" types anyway.   :-o

Enough already!   This "deal" has to go!
