What is a sealing dive?

no. the problem is that all this "enforcement" costs money and time and we seem to want these things but then we get pissed when the govt tries to enforce them. Big govt is not good. We need to keep our selves safe. keep ourselves reponsible, and dammit, keep ourselves from dying from hurricanes ALL BY OURSELVES!

As most of it is unguarded, yes, it is possible.  However, if you get caught, you're in deep doo doo.

The goverment has concealed things from the public since it's formation. Cover stories and diversion stories are created daily. With today's instant communications technology, it's not as easy. And it's not always with evil intent. For example, when the 911 incident occurred, the idea was that the least truthful information released to the public the better, so as not to create panic over possible future or more attacks that law enforcement had no advance knowledge of where it would occur, even though they told us it highly probable it would. The theory is tell the public the least information possible with plausible deniability. If that isn't possible, and real information for the safety of the public is available, release it according to its weight against negative panic and fear that it may cause. The least the better is rule of thumb in goverment.

Yes, i agree. They did it for greed and oil. Haliburton makes billions a day because we went in. And They are buddied up with the Bush administration. It is sad how much power the big corporations have over our government.

Those who live outside delhi does not understand the issue in totality. Despite wide media coverage none of the print t.v medium explained about the nuances about sealing and those who loose out if implemented. We simply could not comprehend what the issue is. Please explain and ask once again for better wider global response.

The questioning of a government should never be considered disloyal and I feel sorry for the majority of the people in this world who currently are or have in the past had to live in those kind of governments.  To question things is one of the most basic human insticts and should not be feared.

give me a break.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nthere is actually no new deal being made.  The British comapany that already manages the ports is being bought out by a corporation owned primarily by citizens of the United Arab Emarites.  The question at hand is wether or not to try to get out of our contract.  Since the British company will still be managing our ports, there is no reason to suspect that a terrorist plot is going on.  Micheal Moore Edits Answers that he doesn't like from his films and usually slants what is included.  Maybe if you read somthing other than Liberal propaganda (including the textbooks found in public and some private schools) you would get the whole story.

IF WE CONSIDER THE CURRENT ATTACK, THATS VERY WEAKER THAN PREVIOUS.\nBUT, I WOULD SAY, ITS ENOUGH TO CONTAIN OUR HEROES.

It is legal, it's just kind of a silly idea.  The public will see that you're merely hedging your bets.  Besides, if John Ashcroft can lose to a dead guy, it makes sense that it should be legal.

Under what conditions?\n\nI recall seeing an article about a hotel in the Florida Keys that has made a series of underwater "bungaloes" that guests need to SCUBA dive down to, and out of.  Looks like it would be interesting.  And there are deep-sea researchers that live at depth for some time.\n\nBut either one requires a great deal of support at this time, since none of them could be considered self-sufficient.  Perhaps in the future?

If Sierra Club had been successful in their suit against Dick Cheney....we might know the answer!!!!! Remember his meeting with Ken Lay....JUST before Enron's collapse and in the midst of Cali's energy crisis!\n\nThanks to a little duck hunting trip with Scalia...who refused to recuse himself from the case( 2 weeks before it came before the SC).\n\nThe reason why.....it's falls under national security....this administrations catch all for burying documents! It's disgraceful....especially for a govt that's supposed to be transparent.\n\nAnd while I agree there are certainly national security things that NEED to remain secret....this little incident occurred before 9/11.

The word must be out that leaks will be anonymously taken at the NYT. I think both sides are leaking to the paper. Some things should be leaked, others shouldn't. It keeps the murky waters of our government slightly more transparent.

IT'S FISHY.\n\nBUT THIS IS THE COVERUP ADMINISTRATION.

The company in Dubai that wanted to buy the ports from Great Britain own ports around the world. They are a reputable company, and I am sure it all boiled down to the all mighty dollar, or pound sterling as the case may be. You have to remember that it was not the government of Great Britain selling the ports, but a company based in Great Britain. I am sure we have many corporations and business in America that do business that the government would not approve of.

Purposely? No.\n\nBut was the attempt to help people in and out of the city done competently? No.\n\nI don't think it was rasict or malicious...just incompetence, from poorly selected managers and a Homeland Defence Department that is mainly focused on terrorists.\n\nThey should have left FEMA out of the DHS and put a disaster specialist in charge instead of a political crony.

the simple fact is... the congress is protecting the president and the president is protecting them... it's a cover *ss festival and I'm not sure who's winning....\n\nwe wouldn't know if Bush was sacrificing children in the oval office, because the congress won't investigate anything... \n\nAnd did you hear today that Bush is sealing the FBI records involved with the congressmen's investigations... and so it continues
