Quote: "Conspicuously absent from three days of riveting hearings chronicling missed opportunities leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks is what was known about al Qaeda by two key decision-makers: President Bush and his predecessor, Bill Clinton.....The Bush White House says Congress is not entitled to such information." "It's silly and they ought to change their decision," said Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah). "The president is getting poor advice."

MORSE, Senator Wayne Morse on Dissent and the conduct of U.S. Foreign Policy. Sen. Morse is an America hero in my book.
fair.org
Select quote from 1964: "Senator, the Constitution gives to the president of the United States the sole responsibility for the conduct of foreign policy," (CBS News Reporter Peter)Lisagor said
"Couldn't be more wrong," Wayne Morse broke in. "You couldn't make a more unsound legal statement than the one you have just made. This is the promulgation of an old fallacy that foreign policy belongs to the president of the United States. That's nonsense."
Lisagor: "To whom does it belong then, senator?"
Morse: "It belongs to the American people. ... And I am pleading that the American people be given the facts about foreign policy."
Lisagor: "You know, senator, that the American people cannot formulate and execute foreign policy."
Morse: "Why do you say that? ... I have complete faith in the ability of the American people to follow the facts if you'll give them. And my charge against my government is -- we're not giving the American people the facts."

Quote: "The Bush administration's declaration, "The National Security Strategy of the United States," stands as one of the more amazing, depressing and self-deluding documents ever written by the governors of the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is, in fact, too American by half, reading more like the warning cry of crazed missionaries than the reasoned or tolerant arguments of a free and democratic people........ It is a very depressing document, describing a dark, stormy view from a slightly hysterical White House ready to declare war on both the world and reality.."
