Port deal to get further review.

I think it's more than reasonable for the port deal to get further review. It's obviously a political hot potato and the added security audit is required to appease those who oppose it. Bush is stuck between a rock and a hard place here. It's too far along in the process to renege on the sale of the ports, and it would be a foreign relations nightmare to do so. I have supported the sale from the start but with a couple of ideas on how to ensure security. The US government should reserve the right to have some of their top security experts on staff and they should also report to a congressional committee once a year. Those measures would be both practical and symbolic.
