Washington state's senior senator attacked the sale of six ports' shipping operations to a United Arab Emirates-owned firm Wednesday, saying the deal should be halted unless the administration provides more details about the sale and its conditions.

"We have a right to the knowledge," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said at a news conference overlooking Seattle's harbor. "If we are not satisfied, then I fully expect Congress to move forward to stop the deal. Now we are asking for information so we can make the right decision."

Murray and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said they were concerned about the sale of American port operations to Dubai Ports World because some of the 9/11 hijackers had been based in the United Arab Emirates and groups associated with al-Qaida had moved money through its banks.

Let we forget: Sen. Patty Murray admires Osama Bin Laden!!

Sen. Patty Murray is Cindy Sheehan without the charm.

I think it is hilarious that some of these liberal senators who never met a terrorist they didn't like are suddenly oh-so-concerned about the security of our ports - for as long as they can use the issue to score points off of President Bush, that is.

I really, really wish that Washington voters could put Murray out of our misery, but I understand the realities of communist Seattle.

I suspect she is a dyke.....she appears to have all the necessary physical characteristics.

Thank you for reminding me again why Senator Murray will always be a contender for Congressional Doofus of the Year even though she has some extremely strong competition.

[CWOJackson]

Ah yes...a true conservative.

This is all politics. Isn't Murray running in 2006? I hope she is beaten.

Because of my employer I'm in the interesting position of meeting a lot of these folks.  Murray, McDermott, Gorton, Cantwell etc...

Patty's pretty pleasant until her mouth moves and sound comes out if it.

Slade Gorton's nice.  I felt bad for him over losing his Senate seat.

McDermott's a complete goofball.

[jazusamo]

No, Murray was reelected in 04. Cantwell is up for reelection this year.

[jazusamo]

You're being too king to McDermott calling him a goofball. :)

Slade Gorton's nice. I felt bad for him over losing his Senate seat.

I liked Gorton as a Senator but after he lost he went left. He supported the gas tax increase in Washington State and rallied for it.

Don't think for a second that I'm being to "king" to you.

But Sen Patty in saying this: " so we can make the right decision" fails to understand that it is not her job or her perogative to have any say so in a matter like this.

But then again. It apparently was'nt Geo.F.'s job or perogative either...and he's gonna veto it if someone says boo!

[jazusamo]

It shouldn't be Murray's job to make any decisions. The students in that Vancouver class she talked up bin Laden to, I'm sure all have more common sense than she does.

[Old Professer]

No need for (sic); the use of sale in this headline is correct.

[indcons]

The headline says, "halt to sale" instead of "halt sale"

[CBart95]

Your picture of Murray is extremely clear now.

You are too "king".

CORRECTION!
Wrong ADDRESS.

here it is: michellemalkin.com

[Old Professer]

Still correct.

[indcons]

I see......the writer is using "halt" as a noun instead of as a verb. Ambiguous headline still, IMO.

I stand corrected on the "Sic" though.
