Is this the same UAE whom we couldn’t trust to manage our own ports for fear they would compromise terrorist activity?
Yeah. That’s what I thought. Looks like they might be more vigilant against real terrorists than most.

The story is still very new. Some of them probably just haven’t gotten around to it. I had this post up while some of the wire services still appeared to be working on it.

I find it interesting that the US media was having daily updates as the US Navy followed the Kang Nam I just a few months ago and now here is a ship much larger than the Kang Nam I detained by UAE filled with weapons for Iran and the media can apparently care less.

What is this amateur hour? How on earth does a ship on the way to Iran get detained by the UAE? Did they plan to somehow transship these weapons through the UAE? Why not just call an Iranian port first?
