Port review did not investigate terrorism ties

So says Rep Peter King (R-NY):

Rep. Peter King of New York, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said officials from the Homeland Security and Treasury departments told him weeks ago that their 30-day review of the deal did not look into the question of links between DP World and al Qaeda.

King said the officials told him after he asked about investigation into possible terrorist ties: "Congressman, you don't understand, we don't conduct a thorough investigation. We just ask the intel director if there is anything on file, and he said no."

"There was no real investigation conducted during the 30-day period," King, who has been a vocal critic of the deal, told CNN. "I can't emphasize this enough..."

And I would hope this quote gets played all over the news everywhere:

"When I hear the administration saying they want to educate the Congress and the American public, they should be educating themselves," King said. "They should do the investigation they should have done after the 30 days."

The American people don't want to be educated, they want to feel safe if this deal goes through. All they want is a true investigation, and the administration isn't winning anyone over by appearing unwilling to give it to them.
