Any Port In A Storm

The Council on Foreign Relations has a useful fact sheet on the United Arab Emerites port deal that has been so much in the news.  I find myself drifting in the direction of Glenn Reynolds, who thinks this is all much ado about next to nothing.  The Wall Street Journal also editorializes in favor of the port deal.   My own mind is not settled on the issue, but the reaction against the deal seems for now to be more the reaction of a mob, not of reasoned disagreement.
