DEBBIE ELLIOTT, host: And now we read from your letters. Our conversation with NPR reporter Adam Davidson over the Dubai ports controversy generated a lot of mail. Davidson told us that in reporting on the story, he had a hard time finding port security experts who were concerned about plans for a state-run Dubai company to take over terminal operations at some U.S. ports.</s>Listener Jeffrey Golden writes: To cite dozens of port security experts as the basis to conclude that this controversy is a tempest in a teapot begs the imagination, and to marginalize the bipartisan critics of this deal in Congress based on the conclusions of these unnamed experts is at best disingenuous.</s>Listener Jeffrey Golden writes: But we also received some messages like this one like Charles Brown, who had praise for Adam Davidson's coverage. Mr. Brown writes, More than any other reporter in almost any other medium, he has carefully deconstructed the myth that there is any widely accepted security risk.</s>Listener Jeffrey Golden writes: Your letters are always welcome. To write to us, go to our website, npr.org, click on Contact Us, and select WEEKEND ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. Please tell us where you live, include a phone number, and how to pronounce your name.</s>Listener Jeffrey Golden writes: If you have a questions for the Ethicist, be sure to put the word Ethics on the subject line.
