Two bits from the spin front

Remember how the Bushies were making a big deal about explosive devices in Iraq that "had to be" coming out of Iran? (I think I scoffed here.) Well, it turns out that they're made in Iraq just like all the other things being used to tell use we aren't welcome...

And, what the heck, remember the terrifying War on Terror? And how national security is paramount (and certainly more important than the Constitution, etc.) and even rational people think there are some gaps that should be filled? Well apparently Bush is considering vetoing 9/11 legislation (only his first second veto, remember) because of a clause that might extend union protection to some airport employees. I guess that everything takes a back seat to Protecting the Corporate Bottom Line...
