INTERESTING TID-BITS

From Tim Grieve at Salon:

The Dubai ports deal: Us, them and in between
The president seems surprised by the reaction. He shouldn't be.

The "people responsible" for port deal? Bush, Rumsfeld say: Not us!
The White House says that Bush didn't know about the plan until it was already approved -- despite a federal law that requires presidential approval.

Donald Rumsfeld's retraction
The defense secretary said the U.S. has stopped planting fake stories in the Iraqi press. It hasn't.

Another story about drinkin' and shootin'
"Zippo" becomes a "beer or two" that nobody drank becomes "a beer" that Cheney drank becomes a "glass of wine" that his hunting partner consumed.
