According to one commentator I heard, the White House reported that GW didn't know about the deal until after the controversy started.

I don't know who, but somebody somewhere needs to get their facts straight.



Exactly. The US Gov't was not involved in this deal until the media got involved. Now congress wants to step in and block the transaction because of the alledged secuirty implications.
