Glenn Reynolds is all over it, with a bunch of readers mentioning that UAE treated them pretty well, and the country has a good relationship with the U.S. So, if they are an ally, that's fine, but why didn't anyone mention this? And why is Frist and Bush threatening a showdown? Bush threatens a veto of any measure to block the deal, which Frist is now putting together. Frist, meanwhile, says there are enough votes to override the veto. As usual, Bush & Co never bother to mention the facts about this so-called ally, they never bother to sell what they are doing, they just do it. Shrug, i guess everyone is bored nowadays. Not much news to find shocking anymore.
