"Wolf, this may be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back, this deal to sell control of six US ports to a company controlled by the United Arab Emirates.

We're at a crossroads - which way will we choose?

The Moderate Voice has a nice round up on this story with many different reports and opinions included. TMV does a really great job putting these types of posts together.
