Indianapolis Airport is run by BAA, a British company

Unfortunately, Drudge is threatening to "break" the news that Indianapolis Airport is run by the British company BAA, which also runs Heathrow, Gatwick, and other airports:

Since October 1, 1995, BAA Indianapolis LLC has had full operating responsibility for the six airports owned by the Indianapolis Airport Authority under a unique, performance-based, management contract. Indianapolis International is now the largest privately managed airport in the United States.

The apparent implication is that that makes the Dubai ports deal A-OK. Obviously, that's wrong for two reasons. First, there's quite a difference between a British company and a company owned by an Arab state with some questionable ties. And, any foreign control of our critical infrastructure should be looked at quite closely and avoided if possible.

UPDATE: Here's Drudge's report.
