Okay, now I feel much better about port security

I admit I was feeling somewhat anxious over the President's decision to allow a company in Muslim Dubai to run many of our major ports. Call me crazy, but I really wanted some information to assuage my fears that this might make us just a teensy bit less safe than when a British company had the same duties.

Silly me. As the President just said, "I can understand why some in Congress have raised questions about whether or not our country will be less secure as a result of this transaction. But they need to know that our government has looked at this issue and looked at it carefully." I always thought that Congress was part of "our government," but I guess not. So the same people who brought us Michael Brown and conclusive evidence of WMDs in Iraq now assure us that they have looked carefully at our port security. Obviously that's all I need to know. I feel so much better now.
