WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) is moving to concentrate power as he begins his second term, placing trusted members of his inner circle in key positions, but some analysts believe he risks stifling healthy debate within his administration.
"It is understandable that this president, like any president, wants his decisions to be taken as writ," said William Galston, a government professor at the University of Maryland, who served as a domestic policy adviser to former President Bill Clinton (news - web sites).
"However this president is running the risk of restricting the range of debate within the administration very seriously," Galston said.
