It doesn't for me.

Or me.

Especially since the Wash Times is reporting the deal was contingent on not having the more-rigorous 45-day review done:

There is a chance the deal would dissolve with the tougher 45-day review -- this has happened to previous reviews by the foreign investment committee -- and in this case it is clearly warranted. Last week, it emerged that both Dubai Ports World and Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the seller, specified that an agreement by the U.S. government not to make a formal investigation as a condition for the deal. This is exceedingly odd; this is enough to persuade Congress to push the review. "

Thanks for posting this because it makes the story even more intriguing. This is a questionable dealbreaker and I'd like to have some answers. No doubt it has something to do with international "security"?
