(When the White House withholds "certain details")

"In my judgment, the President was fully justified, if in fact it is true, that during 1969 and 1970, he secretly bombed the occupied sectors of Cambodia because of American troops on the other side of the frontier." - Pat Buchanan

Taken from an interview as part of the Firing Line series hosted by William F. Buckley, this piece features a very young and very loyal White House Speech writer by the name of Pat Buchanan, discussing Presidential privilege and National security.

Makes for an interesting juxtaposition with the Bush White House. Particularly where the question of good judgment is concerned.
