Port deal lacks common sense, N.J. governor says in broadcast

WASHINGTON Democrats say the Bush administration didn't do a good enough job investigating a United Arab Emirates company before it was allowed to buy operations at six major U-S ports.

In the Democratic Party's weekly radio address, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine (KOHR'-zyn) says the deal "fails the basic test of common sense" in terms of national security.

New Jersey is suing to block the deal with state-run Dubai Ports World.

Despite opposition from members of both parties, President Bush's national security adviser insists there's no going back on the deal.
