Bush has threatened to veto bill to protect Fed. watchdogs/Inspector Generals.

story in USAToday

Watching out for watchdogsInspectors general were invented after Watergate to uncover fraud and other abuses in government. And so they have, stirring plenty of resentment. Now they're under pressure, and President Bush has threatened to veto legislation that would protect them. Bad idea.
