Holy loaded poll Batman!
I simply don’t know what to say about an organization who thinks that a poll comparing arab-run companies to the mafia is anything but insulting, xenophobic and above all, pointless. What exactly are they trying to accomplish? This seems more like a Faux News stunt than that of an organization that once had a journalist working there. CNN has become simply a parody of Faux News and is thereby even more useless.

I doubt CNN is making a historical comparison, but more a bald-faced thing trying to see what people will do when comparing the mafia to those “terrorist aaaarabs”.
I think they are referring to the report that currently most east coast ports are influenced by the mob. http://localnewsleader.com/jackson/stories/index.php?action=fullnews&id=156255

during ww2 the USG enlisted the help of lucky luciano to prevent german attacks at some u.s. ports. the comparison is valid.
