On National Security

Alex Cockburn makes some very good points about National Security and the Dubai port ownership flap. Where's the hysteria about the loss of 100,000 jobs in the auto industry? If this doesn't threaten the long term security of this country then what will? Also, when the US government leaned towards anti-communist and mobbed-up unions in the 40's and 50's whose security was furthered? The nation as a whole or the owners?
