With scarcely a mention in the mainstream media, President Bush has ordered up a plan for responding to a catastrophic attack. Under that plan, he entrusts himself with leading the entire federal government, not just the Executive Branch. And he gives himself the responsibility "for ensuring constitutional government."

The Grand Canyon is more than a great chasm carved over millennia through the rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It is more than an awe-inspiring view. It is more than a pleasuring ground for those that explore the roads, hike the trails, or float the currents of the turbulent Colorado River.

Repairs have made the national park in Washington state accessible again. But winter storms have left it a more primitive -- and dangerous -- place. Last fall's torrential rain, 18 inches in 36 hours, washed away bridges and roads, obliterated hiking trails and destroyed campgrounds. The damage is estimated at $36 million.

It makes Americans get permission to live and move in the basic functions of society: banking and travel. We shouldn't have to ask permission to be functioning citizens within our own country.
