Wide of harbour\u003cbr/\u003eThe Bush administration secretly required a company in the United Arab Emirates to cooperate with future US investigations before approving its takeover of operations at six American ports, according to documents obtained by the Associated Press on Wednesday. \u003cbr/\u003eIt chose not to impose other routine restrictions.\u003cbr/\u003eAs part of the 6.8 billion US dollars purchase, state-owned Dubai Ports World agreed to reveal records on demand about \"foreign operational direction\" of its business at US ports, the documents said. \u003cbr/\u003eThose records broadly include details about the design, maintenance or operation of ports and equipment.\u003cbr/\u003eThe administration did not require Dubai Ports to keep copies of business records on US soil, where they would be subject to court orders. \u003cbr/\u003eIt also did not require the company to designate an American citizen to accommodate US government requests. Outside legal experts said such obligations are routinely attached to US approvals of foreign sales in other industries.\u003cbr/\u003eThe conditions involving the sale of London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company were detailed in US documents marked \"confidential.\" Such records are regularly guarded as trade secrets, and it is highly unusual for them to be made public.\u003cbr/\u003eThe concessions, described previously by the Homeland Security Department as unprecedented among maritime companies, reflect the close relationship between the United States and the United Arab Emirates.\u003cbr/\u003eThe controversy is causing concern among Arab-Americans which say the furore is fuelled by racism and bigotry.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We what we are really seeing is a kind of demagogic reaction to the fact that it would be an Arab company that would be taking over the operation of these terminals\", said Katherine Abbadi, executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee of New York.\u003cbr/\u003eThe comments come as US President George W. Bush declared on Wednesday that he was unaware of the pending sale of shipping operations at six major US seaports to a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) until after the deal already had been approved by his administration.\u003cbr/\u003eDefending the deal anew, the administration also said that it should have briefed Congress sooner about the transaction, which has triggered a major political backlash among both Republicans and Democrats.\u003cbr/\u003eWhite House spokesman Scott McClellan defended what he called Bush's \"principled stand\" on the issue, and said that security would not change \"one iota.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe ports have already been managed for the past couple of years by a British company that is being taken over by Dubai Ports, which is owned by the United Arab Emirates. \u003cbr/\u003eThe company manages ports all over the world.\u003cbr/\u003eEdward H. Bilkey, chief operating officer at Dubai Ports World said, that because the company operates in \"some pretty tough places\", they have \"a tremendous focus on security\".\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think basically it is a misunderstanding of what we do in a terminal as opposed to a port. We're not running the port of New York, the New York Port Authority does that\", he said. \u003cbr/\u003eSeveral elected officials have said they will introduce legislation to block the deal.\u003cbr/\u003eBush has said he would veto any such efforts.\u003cbr/\u003eTerror and national security analyst David Heyman at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC says the real threat is not who operates the cranes, but that not enough is being done to monitor what is inside the containers.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have great port vulnerability today because a lot of these procedures are not in place. It's separate consideration from who is running the port, who is cleaning the roads, who is maintaining the equipment or who is doing the hiring\", he said.\u003cbr/\u003eLawmakers from both the Democrats and Republicans have noted that some of the September 11 hijackers used the United Arab Emirates as an operational and financial base. \u003cbr/\u003eIn addition, critics contend the UAE was an important transfer point for shipments of smuggled nuclear components sent to Iran, North Korea and Libya by a Pakistani scientist.\u003cbr/\u003eBilkey said the public and politicians have a misunderstanding about the deal, and said there would be more support if people knew how cooperative the UAE was with American authorities.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
