Since more information has come out on this deal, I'm favoring the president's approach. I think more harm would come to our relations with Arab countries were we to cancel the deal (and I'm not even sure we could). This is a business deal between two corporations. The title of this thread is misleading. As I understand it, security at the ports will still be conducted by the U. S. Coast Guard. It's a bit difficult for me to understand how folks that are so opposed to racial profiling could justifiably criticize the deal. What's the word? Oh, yes, hypocritical. That's it.
