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.
