The more I read about Nixon the more I like him. Recently declassified documents from his presidency reveal that he continued to conduct a secret war in Cambodia. He calmed congress down and then forgot to tell them that he was still fighting the war. A quote the article I read this in seems particularly put out with, "We have taken all the heat on this one. Just do it. Don't come back and ask permission each time." That's wonderful! A civilian president who knew that his army commanders knew a heck of a lot more than he did about running ground operations. The more the media tries to tear "Tricky Dick" down the more I admire him.
