Did Obama Threaten to Veto a Bill Authorizing the Intel Budget If It Contained a Provision About Investigating the Anthrax Attacks?

It was reported here:

Bloomberg is reporting that Office of Management and Budget head Peter Orszag has told the intelligence committees Obama will veto the intelligence authorization because–among other reasons–it calls for re-examining the FBI’s conspiracy theory-as-investigation summary finding that Bruce Ivins acted alone.

President Barack Obama probably would veto legislation authorizing the next budget for U.S. intelligence agencies if it calls for a new investigation into the 2001 anthrax attacks, an administration official said.A proposed probe by the intelligence agencies’ inspector general “would undermine public confidence” in an FBI probe of the attacks “and unfairly cast doubt on its conclusions,” Peter Orszag, director of the Office of Management and Budget, wrote in a letter to leaders of the House and Senate Intelligence committees.

Oddly, though, this link is just from last year, and the Bloomberg article is gone-- not even in the WayBack machine!-- as well as the RawStory piece that also mentioned this.

Down the fugging memory hole-- again.

Of course, at least the story is repeated many places on the intertubez.
