Arab Co., White House Had Secret Agreement

Arab Co., White House Had Secret Agreement - Yahoo! News

What the heck...? See the following from the article:

Bush personally defended the agreement on Tuesday, but the White House said he did not know about it until recently. The AP first reported the U.S. approval of the sale to Dubai Ports on Feb. 11, and many members of Congress have said they learned about it from the AP.
This situation is head-spinning - on the one hand, the L.A. Times , as well as Jimmy Carter, both very respectable sources, IMO, condone this ports arrangement, while, OTOH, intuitively at least, it defies common sense, big time.

At least, Long Beach/Los Angeles is not involved... But, still!
