U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter has a way of cutting straight to the heart of the matter.He repeatedly did so during last month’s hearing on FOCs, but never more memorably than near the end of the lengthy inquiry. Speaking directly to Yoram Cohen, CEO of the Liberian ship registry, Hunter said, “You work for a guy (Liberia President Charles Taylor) who’s a murderer.”
Hunter also said, in response to Cohen’s assertions that the U.S. could depend on Liberian-flagged ships in times of crisis, “I’d think it’s a sad day for the U.S. if we’re depending on Liberia for our security.”
