Twenty-two instead of six

It is now reported that there are 22 ports involved in the port deal, just not the 6 we've been hearing about.

They are located in:

Portland, Maine; Boston; Davisville, R. I.; New York; Philadelphia; Camden,N.J.; Wilmington, Del.; Baltimore, Md.; Newport News, Va.; Norfolk, Va.; Portsmouth, Va.; Miami; Lake Charles, La.; New Orleans; Beaumont, Tx.; Port Arthur, Tx.; Galveston, Tx.; Houston; Freeport, Tx.; and corpus Christi, Tx., plus a couple others not listed in the news release.

Latest reports indicate that the gulf of Mexico ports will have "stevedore" service taken over by this outfit, but they won't actually own the ports, at least not yet.

Still think the government -- or the media for that matter -- are being honest with us?
