That article highlights a potential problem. The Committee of Foreign
Investment is an inter-agency panel headed by the Treasury Dept. Perhaps,
post 9/11, it's time to move it to a department tasked with national
security, rather than finance. I'd also question why the local port
authorities weren't consulted before reaching this decision. They know
the ports best, and have to live and work in the area. I'm sure security
weighs heavier on their minds than bureaucrats in Washington.

There you go - if Jimmy Carter, one of the best Presidents the US has ever
had, is ok with it - it's ok by me.

Comparatively speaking, he is looking better and better. ;-)
