UAE Port Deal: 21 US ports, not 6

This came out a few days ago from UPI, which is a wire service owned by Reverend Sun Yung Moon's Unification Church (the church that says God has replaced Jesus with Sun Yung Moon). The same UPI that Helen Thomas left when it was taken over by the Rev. But anyway, sometimes they come up with good stories and here is one, written by Pamela Hess, UPI's Pentagon Correspondent, entitled "UAE terminal takeover extends to 21 ports", and posted at:

"A United Arab Emirates government-owned company is poised to take over port terminal operations in 21 American ports, far more than the six widely reported."
. . .

"P&O is the parent company of P&O Ports North America, which leases terminals for the import and export and loading and unloading and security of cargo in 21 ports, 11 on the East Coast, ranging from Portland, Maine to Miami, Florida, and 10 on the Gulf Coast, from Gulfport, Miss., to Corpus Christi, Texas, according to the company's Web site."

Today I only managed to wake up in time for McLaughlin Group, and they were still talking about 6 ports - so which is it, 6 or 21?
