Franks knows who the good guys are over there, but this will continue to be a firestorm the Democrats and some GOP will play to the hilt.

The question is with all the controls available to Homeland Security, is it really more dangerous to have these people owning it?

They wont "OWN" anything; all the company is to do is run the ports. They wont be in charge of security, either.

They don't "own" anything but a contract to operate the port.

They will own the British company who operated ONE TERMINAL in the port.

They're not BUYING THE PORT - which has been the statement by the press that got everybody riled up.

The port is OWNED BY THE PORT AUTHORITY OF NEW YORK. The contract to operate the port was held by a British company who sold the contract to the UAE. That's it!

And .. must I go on ..??
