Forgot to post my comments last week
I find the concept to be interesting but I see it as necessary not just in light of the recent tragedy but in terms of new presidency in general. I truly believe that both the outgoing and President elect should work together in an orientation/advisory relationship for say a period of 6 months to a year of the new term. I know egos won't allow it as a matter of course that Dubya would call on Bill for help but if there was an advisory panel that facilitated communication then it would be beneficial for our country and our new president.
Said all of that to say that yes I think the former presidents should be assembled to counsel Bush as well as offer some international advice and possibly serve in an ambassadorial role in this time of resolutions, crisis and tragedy. Most of them are doing nothing anyway but writing books.
