Kerry:"tip of the iceberg of the administration's failure on port security

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,187307,00.html

"Dubai deal or no Dubai deal, it's clear that this is just the tip of the iceberg of the administration's failure on port security," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. "A new report from the Department of Homeland Security shows that Target does a better job monitoring their stores than our government does monitoring our ports. Their failure to put together a basic program after all the warnings must be a wake-up call to finally get it right on homeland security."

4. Good comments. And on Foxnews, no less
Although in another part of the article Fox says that the deal failure is a blow to Democrats who wanted legislation.

Also interesting is how Frist takes credit for killing the deal.
