Well at least Bunnahabhain, has got the right handle on it.

If any of the others who have contributed to this thread looked up Kingdom Holdings or Investments (I think it's called), based on your reaction to this news you would be utterly amazed at how much of America is "owned/run" by Arabs.

This particular Company would also have been in the forefront of implimenting the ISPS codes for all the ports they run and run rather successfully. This was the scheme introduced by the current administration to reduce the risk of nasty things being smuggled into the US.
