Port Deal's Kiss of Death

In case anyone is wondering whether the port deal by a company in the UAE will go through, it's now as good as dead. Jimmy Carter just stated his support - and that should be a clear signal to the White House that it needs to be revisited.

*Update*
Then again, President Bush is adamant about the deal. While he correctly calls out critics for what is essentially racial profiling, I think this will hurt President Bush and Republicans politically. I admire him for his steadfastness, but Bush will only be hurting himself with such an unpopular transaction.
