That said (port security redux)...

This deal sounds like a really bad idea, for two reasons:

1. No company that is owned by and beholden to a foreign government (as opposed to being just foreign-owned) should have a controlling interest in US critical infrastructure.
2. It sounds like there could be some cronyism type rationale behind Bush's bizarre insistence on this deal going through (but I've seen no evidence).

I don't think this deal should go through. I stand behind my charges of hypocrisy at many of the politicians who are publicly opposed to this deal because the foreign country is Middle Eastern- yet who are opposed to profiling.
