Hi Everyone,

We wanted to make everyone aware that Check Point and Sourcefire
withdrew their application today after carefully considering the
complexities of the CFIUS process, the lengthy ongoing delays in the
CFIUS process, and the current climate for international acquisition.


I'm still totally confused as to why the government uses so many Check
Point products, then complains about this transaction, and continues to
use Check Point products. It is obvious that they are fine with using
foreign owned security products. I hate politics.

Good job handling all this though. I would have been slightly more
caustic :-)

It is good not to be alone, though:
