Spin Cycle

Does anyone find the government’s position inconsistent on how it handles the deaths of U.S. service members in Iraq and Afghanistan?
The federal government does not allow the media to photograph the caskets as they are brought back to American soil.
Yet, Gov. George Pataki, who is running for president, is attending wakes in Queens and Brooklyn tonight for slain soldiers, and both are listed on his official public schecule that is distributed to the media.
And Pataki is not the only pol who does it.
