Checking in from West Point
Posted by Lorelei Kelly
Just checking in....I have been travelling for weeks--it seems--two weeks in New Orleans, then New Mexico and now upstate New York. I am at West Point--the US Military Academy--until Friday and will have lots to write about when I'm back in DC.
Between now and 08, I'll be working with others on a project that aims to help restore what I call the civil military "safety net". After working on Capitol Hill after 9/11 and seeing the failure of Congress to put the brakes on the President in matters of war and peace--our aim is to educate ourselves and the American public so that can"t happen again.
I travel with a five month old---who is deprogramming as i type---and i'm borrowing the concierge's computer here at the Thayer hotel on campus...so until later....

I'm interested in hearing your ideas, but skeptical that it can be done. Clearly legislating checks one the executive isn't enough. The Constitution already does that it's ignored.
What has to change is our cultural attitudes -- like trusting the President to act alone in good faith. Bush has inadvertently done a lot to change people's views on this, but I'm afraid it will be forgotten soon after he leaves, just as it was forgotten soon after Nixon resigned.
