DP World, Dave Sanborn & Cronyism

Dave Sanborn works as a 'senior executive' for DP World, get's a plush appointment in the Bush administration as "Maritime Administrator' and then presto, three weeks later his old company, DP World, owned by a country with known terrorists links, get's a $7 billion deal to run six American ports.
