The acquisition of P&O Ports by DPW was announced last fall. I found out about it from an article in The Journal of Commerce.
Anyone in the U.S. government who waited until February of 2006 to express their "concern" over this acquisition is nothing more than an opportunistic, pandering @sshole. And that goes for members of both political parties, too.
