Tom Coburn, who I normally NEVER have a problem with...was at the press conference with Schumer, and was a signer of the letter to President Bush asking for an explanation to Congress on this deal...
In fact, because he was in the group, I jumped on the bandwagon that this HAS to be a bad deal...
I don't know what his reasons are...I didn't hear him speak, just Schumer..
Graham for sure needs to be told that the UAE company would NOT be in charge of port security, like he said on Fox..
But, until we hear more....I just don't know where all the Congress stands...and unfortunately, they are once again on vacation until Feb. 28th...
We need to make it clear, without prejudgment of the "right answer," that we think the reactions to date are way premature. We want to know either what the story is, so that we can make up our own minds, or that it is too sensitive to discuss in detail (in which case I take GWBs word over anyone else so far mentioned)
