Thirty-five years ago, on the CBS program "Face the Nation," journalist Peter Lisagor argued with a senator who stood almost alone on Capitol Hill, strongly opposing the war in Vietnam from the outset. "Senator, the Constitution gives to the president of the United States the sole responsibility for the conduct of foreign policy," 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." fair.org
