Bush faces pressure to block port deal

Lawmakers voice concerns about takeover by Dubai-based firm

Tom Ridge told CNN, "I think the anxiety and the concern [over the deal] that has been expressed by congressmen and senators and elsewhere is legitimate."

Ridge said, "The bottom line is, I think we need a little bit more transparency here. There are some legitimate concerns about who would be in charge of hiring and firing, security measures, added technology in these ports that we'll need to upgrade our security."

"So I think it's very appropriate for the administration to go to the Hill and explain why they think they have not compromised security and, in fact, as they've announced, they will enhance and improve security," he said. "It's tough to see that right now on the surface."

The world is gone mad. I am not supporting Bush but Ican understand that he did not know about this. Heck I work in a school of only about 100 employees and can't keep up with who is and isn't pregnant.

I also think that the Congress needs to be told info but national security says some things may need to remain secret. However, as this is not seemingly the case and as both sides of the aisle are now screaming perhaps the President needs to say we are going to slow this down I am personally with Congressional leaders look at this and find the solution.

Of God I am helping W. I need a shower...
