You said: "The fact that the Port Operation company has NO security functions is either willfully or inadvertently left OUT of the story.

Chertoff said: "In Washington, Chertoff said DP World should not be excluded from operating the U.S. ports just because it is based in the UAE. DP World would not be responsible for cargo screening, which is performed by the Department of Homeland Security, but the port operator would handle security for cargo coming in and out of the port and the hiring of security personnel."

Well, which way is it? Believe me, I'm not some idiot just starting to pay attention. And I'm not someone who is just going to bow the knee just because the White House says it's OK. Our representative here is FL (Mark Foley-R) is also demanding a congressional look see. I agree with him.
