(CNN) -- A proposed business deal that would turn control of six U.S. ports over to an United Arab Emirates-based company has raised security concerns among some lawmakers. CNN's Jack Cafferty asked viewers of the "Situation Room" what they thought. Here is a selection of their responses, sent in by e-mail:

Ask the families of our war dead if they think we should hand over security of our ports to a foreign government. The very idea of it is obscene. And Mr. Chertoff, our brave troops aren't making those sacrifices to protect "robust trade." You shouldn't be in charge of a neighborhood watch if you believe half of what you say.

You got it wrong, Jack. The #1 priority of the Bush regime since 9/11 has been to promote the illusion of safety. The hypocrisy is so transparent even Bush's puppets are finally seeing the treasonous sellout of our country for the crime it is.

The impending sale of the ports to the Arabs is proof positive that the administration is pouring water on our shoes and telling us it's raining. It's also evidence that a deal has been cut somewhere. I just don't believe they are that stupid. Then again, I could be wrong.
