And what is even more interesting to me is that the PM says that the Dutch financing is basically almost in place, so why is the Tourism Minister attending a briefing about possible other financing.

But looking at the numbers, the alternative financing is for over $200 M, versus $100M for the Dutch financing. Does US Pre Clearance cost $100M to put in place? Although I guess the new financing would pay off existing bond holders also, which I have no idea how much that is. I'm thinking this is what all the hoo-ha has been about, the past few days--that some people are seeing a way out of taking the Dutch money. And then there wont' be that pesky Integrity Chamber..
