Bush of plotting to lace a potentially pivotal report on his Iraq troop surge strategy with "White House spin."The attack came as senior congressional aides were reported as saying the White House wanted to block public testimony in Congress next month from war commander General David Petraeus and US ambassador to Baghdad Ryan Crocker.Democrats are also angry the assessment on the surge, required under US law, will be written at the White House, not personally by Crocker and Petraeus.
