U.S. District Court Judge Jose Linares had ordered President Bush to provide information explaining why the government did not carry out an investigation as to ownership of the ports which he allowed the United Arab Emirates to obtain. The judge also demanded to know why the New Jersey Port Authority, which has sued the Bush administraton, was not given the same papers and information used to approve the deal.
The judge said that he will issue an injunction blocking the sale unless the administration gives a satisfactory explanation for its actions.
Simply put, Bush not only broke the law regarding the 45 day investigation period that is required for this type of sale, but also held back documents that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was entitled to. This sale will go down the drain unless the administration is able to talk their way out of this one. The court system will definitely have the last word on this.
