Coast Guard Report Was Taken Out of Context

Media Blog
Stephen Spruiell Reporting

I'm shocked that the press has taken something out of context:

WASHINGTON - "What is being quoted is an excerpt of a
broader Coast Guard intelligence analysis that was
performed early on as part of its due diligence process.
The excerpts made public earlier today, when taken out of
context, do not reflect the full, classified analysis
performed by the Coast Guard.
That analysis concludes ‘that
DP World's acquisition of P&O, in and of itself, does not
pose a significant threat to U.S. assets in [continental
United States] ports.’ Upon subsequent and further review,
the Coast Guard and the entire CFIUS panel believed that
this transaction, when taking into account strong security
assurances by DP World, does not compromise U.S. security."
In other words, the Coast Guard had questions about the deal; those questions were answered; so it approved the deal. Tell me again why this is news?
