Yes (I)

The company has already been investigated by muliple US agencies and have determined to be acceptable.  Chicken Little's need to do more homework on the issue before making snap judgements.  Nothing wrong with having the deal reviewed again by a Congressional panel, but I bet in the end they will see that there is no significant risk and the deal will go through.

Americans should run American ports.  Not a British company.  And not the government of the UAE.

That might be true, but if the American companies cannot outbid the foreign companies, the port athorities have the right to award their contracts to the foreign company.

Plus, Bush said today that, "people don't need to worry about security."  That's the complete opposite of what he and his administration have been telling us for 4+ years, regardless of the context the quote was in (broad or specific to this instance). 

I'm still trying to find the actual text where that comes from.  $2.00 says that he had a qualifying sentance following that one-liner.
