The excerpt below is the real reason that the Pelosi Democrats want the bill. They want to find a way to make a political statement and polish their credentials for the 2008 election. I hope clear and sane heads will prevail in Congress so as not to waste even more money that Congress usually does.
At least this Times article surfaces some sanity associated with the Pelosi foolishness.
"The push for 100 percent screening of all ship cargo containers first became a top priority for Democrats last year after the Bush administration proposed allowing a Dubai company to assume management of a half-dozen United States ship terminal operations. Democrats said then that they recognized the idea was compelling not only to increase security, but also as a political pitch as they tried to buttress their credentials as a party that takes domestic security seriously."
