Integrity trifecta! Takes a lot of integrity to 1) sneak provisions in, 2) blame your staff and, 3) flippety-flop from one day to the next on just how that little bit popped itself in there.

Integrity trifecta!

The Istook Amendment wasn't part of the Intelligence Reform Bill. Rather, it was part of a huge, 3000 page omnibus spending bill that Congress was trying to pass in time for the adjournment. Basically, the bill was a bundle of nine spending bills that hadn't yet been passed. It represented the budget for a large portion of the federal government, which has been running on continuing resolutions. Josh Marshall over at talkingpointsmemo.com has been all over this, and has a pretty thorough account. The 9/11 reform legislation fell apart because some House Republicans have been pressing to add immigration provisions to it. I don’t mean to be a pain, but the details are a little off.
