People in the Know #2

The other day I posted about 'expert' opinion on the DWP deal. I quoted, at length, Alistair McNab, president of the Greater Houston Port Bureau.

Yesterday, Tom Bevan of RealClearPolitics wrote a post at the RCP Blog that echoes the same sentiments. The money quote, in my opinion, comes from Mr. Steven Pinney:

"The national uproar is not correctly stated in my opinion," said Steven Pinney, senior vice president for operations with The Mosaic Co., who was appointed to one of two new positions on the expanded port board. "Very few have gotten to the core of the real story.

"It's been made out to be an issue of [P&O under new ownership] taking over ports or taking over security of the ports, and none of those are real issues."

I especially also like how Bevan took on Congress' intentional-stupidity on the issue. Read that for yourself and decide if he's right.

In the meantime, I'm like Tom; dying for someone to start discussing the real point of the matter.
