Dubai and trafficking?

The Dubai issue is still a hotbed of controversy. While I still think there is a distinct possibility that this whole thing came up because the Administration wanted to get the Patriot Act passed and bust the Democratic filibuster. After all, what better way to test the new-found Democratic support for anti-terror legislation and tighter port security housed in several Patriot Act provisions?

But the most troubling aspect of the Dubai issue is the trafficking trade. They are well known by those who study the issue, for being a center for commerce for trafficked women -- both a destination point and a route. Naturally, they refuse to answer pointed questions on the subject.

State Department trafficking guru John Miller just visited Dubai and made an effort, according to my sources, to bring this issue up.

Another source has told me that the Dubai embassy here in DC employed a fellow who was apparently caught about a year ago doing trafficking here. Even committing acts of rape and assault personally. He was quietly deported after the story broke on the evening news and has since disappeared.

So what does Bill Clinton's supporter (from the previous post, below) have to say about things like money laundering, human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation? Trafficking, money laundering, drug & gun running -- it all goes hand in hand with terrorism. Sure is a lot of money in trafficking.
