Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) on his weekly Daily Rant segment on the Dylan Ratigan show on MSNBC explains the influence of money on the Afghanistan war and GOP obstruction to the START treaty. ______ WASHINGTON (Nov. 16) — An agreement between the United States and Russia to slash their nuclear arsenals was in danger of collapse Tuesday after an influential Republican senator said it should not be voted on this year. With a terse statement, Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., dealt a major setback to President Barack Obama’s efforts to improve ties with Russia and to his broader strategy for reducing nuclear arms worldwide. The treaty, known as New START, had been seen as one of Obama’s top foreign policy accomplishments. Without the support of Kyl, the leading Republican voice on the treaty, Democrats have little hope of securing at least eight Republican votes, the minimum they would need for ratification in the Senate. His stance, unless reversed, would delay the vote until the newly elected Senate, with an expanded Republican minority, is sworn in next year. Democrats would then need the support of at least 14 Republicans.

Chinese Government Selects SeaSecure to Provide Maritime Security & Antiterrorism Training

Chinese Government Selects SeaSecure to Provide Maritime Security & Antiterrorism Training










FT. LAUDERDALE, FL (PRWEB) January 8, 2004 –

– The Chinese government announced that it has selected SeaSecure LLC, a global leader in maritime security and counter-terrorism consulting, to provide maritime security and antiterrorism training to senior members of the Hong Kong Marine Department.

“SeaSecure is very proud to have been selected by the Hong Kong government to provide this essential training to their Marine Department,” said Kim Petersen, SeaSecure’s President at a news conference. “Working with our regional partner, Securicor plc, we have already concluded over six training and certification classes and more are already in the pipeline.”

Security training is required as a result of the International Port Facility and Security (ISPS) Code, which was adopted by the UN’s International Maritime Organization (IMO) to address maritime security at all international ports and the security of ships engaged in international commerce. The ISPS Code has set strict standards for port and ship operators that must be achieved by 1 July 2004.

These students will become Port Facility Security Officers in Hong Kong or the People’s Republic of China, where they will perform port security audits. The three- and five-day training programs provide comprehensive instruction on maritime security using protocols established by the IMO and SeaSecure.

About SeaSecure:

SeaSecure is widely recognized as the nation’s leading expert in maritime security, and its staff have performed security assessments in over 90 countries and 165 seaports. In 2001, SeaSecure was selected to be the lead security consultant to all of Florida’s deep-water ports and, in 2002, to perform seaport and facility vulnerability and threat assessments at over a dozen seaports in the United States. SeaSecure’s international clients include some of the world’s largest seaports, shipping companies, and cruise lines. SeaSecure provides maritime security training to US and foreign governments and industry.

About Kim Petersen:

In addition to being the President of SeaSecure, Mr. Petersen is also the Executive Director of the Maritime Security Council, which represents over 70% of the world’s shipping. His civilian career has included senior staff positions with former US Secretaries of State Kissinger and Haig. He also served at the US Senate and US Defense Department and is a former Captain in the Army’s Special Forces. He has directed security for such companies as Princess Cruises and Renaissance Cruises. He attended Harvard Business School and Virginia Commonwealth University. Kim has frequently given expert testimony before Congress on maritime security and his writings have been published in several journals and books. He has been featured on such programs as CBS’s “Sixty Minutes,” ABC’s “20/20,” the Evening News with Peter Jennings, and National Public Radio. He is a Visiting Professor at the UN’s World Maritime University, and in 2003 the Secretary of Transportation appointed Kim to the Marine Transportation System National Advisory Council.
