Bob Dole Flacks for Arab Company
A report from the Raleigh News and Observer states:
“Bob Dole, a registered lobbyist, former senator from Kansas and GOP presidential candidate, is among a team of lawyers at the Washington law firm Alston & Bird that has been working with Dubai Ports World. Dubai Ports World is owned by the United Arab Emirates. CNN reported Wednesday that the company hired the law firm in 2005. A call to the firm, which also has an office in Raleigh, was not immediately returned. In her letter, Senator [Elizabeth, Bob's wife] Dole did not outright oppose the Dubai deal, but she said Congress should take a hard look at it.”
Draw your own conclusions.
