In Defense of the Port Mgmt Deal

02.22.06

Interesting thoughts at Mullings today:

This is like saying the company which operates your local airport - which is to say it decides how much you pay for parking and where in the terminal the Starbucks will be located - is responsible for airline security.

It isn’t.

But welcome, Democrats, to the national security debate. It’s been interesting to hear your strong views on a country with-ties-to-terrorism, to witness you play the race card in a new way and to see you move up the outrage ladder from the insignificant (Cheney’s mishap) to the potentially semi-substantial (port transfer). Pull up a chair!

UPDATE: Glenn Reynolds is having second thoughts on the port issue and cites the writer linked above. More on the topic, I understand, was covered on his podcast. Also, Jim Geraghty has a detailed post.
