		Kissinger turned them over to the National Archives in February 2002 after being threatened with legal action by the National Security Archive, a nonprofit research institute that campaigns against government secrecy.
		The transcripts shed light on the extraordinarily complex relationship between Nixon and Kissinger during a turbulent period in U.S. foreign policy, from the bombing of Cambodia in 1970 to the Yom Kippur war of 1973 and diplomatic breakthroughs with China and the Soviet Union.
		Kissinger was national-security adviser at the time; Haig was one of his deputies.

		In a letter to the president, Kissinger, 79, said he was stepping down from the appointment to remove any questions about even the appearance of a conflict of interest regarding his ties to several organizations and public figures.
		In his letter, Kissinger said he was prepared to submit all relevant financial information to the White House and an independent review, as well as to other members of the joint commission.
		Kissinger's appointment was criticized by some who said he was too close to powerful national and international figures to be independent.

	The Memory Hole > "Kissinger Declassified" by Lucy Komisar
		Kissinger was dogged by charges he had promoted the military coup against an elected Allende government, and he sought to maintain a cool public distance from Pinochet.
		Kissinger dismissed American human rights campaigns against Chile's government as "domestic problems." And he assured Pinochet that he was against sanctions such as those proposed by Senator Edward Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, which would ban arms sales and transfers to governments that were gross human rights violators.
		Kissinger suggested to Pinochet that his statements on Chile were calibrated to avoid greater damage to the country.

		Hitchens, who wrote a book with the same title, focuses his case against Kissinger based on his role in the assassination of a Chilean general in 1970, the secret bombing of Cambodia in 1969, and the sale of U.S. weapons to Indonesia, which were used in the East Timor massacre of 1975.
		But Henry Kissinger is the poster child of the pursuit of accountability for Americans in international law.

	The Case Against Henry Kissinger
		Kissinger is not invited and feted because of his exquisite manners or his mordant wit (his manners are in any case rather gross, and his wit consists of a quiver of borrowed and secondhand darts).
		Kissinger was at some pains to explain to Pinochet that the few pro forma remarks he was to make on that topic were by no means to be taken seriously.
		Kissinger's response, as can be seen, was to apologize for the Congress and (in a minor replay of his 1968 Paris tactic over Vietnam) to suggest that the dictator hope for better days after the upcoming elections.

	The Kissinger Telcons
		Kissinger and Nixon discussed how to tell the Israelis the good news (economic aid up to $8 million, a message the White House would deliver) and the bad news (no new military aid except to replace losses in fighting with Egyptians, a message left to the State Department).
		While Kissinger was a little queasy ("some of the stories are awful" with "400 people were killed there and it [went] on for days"), Nixon was more hardnosed("these boys [US soldiers] being killed by women carrying that stuff in their satchels").
		Kissinger was not too surprised (the president of American Express was also trying to get one) and said he would try to find out through "various channels." He assured Rockefeller that the Chinese were "less hung up on the name Rockefeller than the Russians.

		Kissinger's "retirement" in 1977 followed that of many CIA employees, disgruntled, "shadow CIA", later involved in Iran-Contra scandal, and said to still exist.

	Kissinger's Back...As 9/11 Truth-Seeker for Bush
		Kissinger's codefendant in the case is Michael Townley, an American-born Chilean agent who was a leading international terrorist in the mid-1970s.
		Kissinger quickly dispatched a cable instructing US ambassadors in the Condor countries to note Washington's "deep concern." But it seems no such warnings were actually conveyed.
		With Kissinger in control, the secret-keepers of the White House--who already have succeeded in preventing the House and Senate intelligence committees' investigation of 9/ll from releasing embarrassing and uncomfortable information--will have little reason to fear.

	The secret life of Henry Kissinger
		Whatever one thinks of Kissinger's deeds on a substantive level, the "most favored expert" status that the U.S. media have bestowed on him is odd, if only because of his demonstrated record of contempt for an independent press and the free flow of information upon which it depends.
		Kissinger, of course, was hardly opposed to leaks in principle; he spent a good portion of his working days spoon-feeding such influential denizens of the Washington press corps as Time's Hugh Sidey and CBS's Marvin Kalb.
		Kissinger was upset with his subordinates on two counts: first, with their conclusion that the Indonesians had broken the law (and thereby made suspension of additional aid politically necessary on Capitol Hill); second, and most important, that they had dared notify Kissinger of this in a cable sent before his return to Washington.

	John Derbyshire on Henry Kissinger on National Review Online
		Kissinger was guilty of duplicity — lying to Congress — in the bombing of Cambodia.
		Kissinger, who is a very clever man indeed, did it, by means no more than averagely foul in these kinds of circumstances, and my own inclination is to thank him for it.
		Kissinger's meddling in the affairs of Chile, or Cyprus, or Indonesia, is even less impressive as material for criminal charges.

	The BCCI Affair - 20 BCCI and Kissinger Associates
		Kissinger Associates refused, however, to provide the client list, arguing that the list was beyond the parameters of the investigation into BCCI by the Subcommittee, and advising the Subcommittee that if it pursued the list, Kissinger Associates would litigate the matter, if necessary, through an extensive appellate process to the Supreme Court.
		Kissinger Associates' purpose is to utilize the diverse backgrounds, experiences, contacts, and relationships of its senior personnel to assist client companies in sorting through and coming to terms with the increasingly complicated international environment.
		Kissinger Associates had decided to end his consultancy in September as a consequence of his not having developed enough business in Brazil to justify his $40,000 a year stipend, and sent da Costa a letter to that effect which he evidently did not receive.

	Welcome to the "Henry Kissinger: Unindicted Terrorist" file!
		Although Kissinger is a frequent guest on Nightline, where he is treated as a harmless and venerable elder statesman, his friend Ted Koppel has never brought up the topic of Kissinger's responsibility for the horrifying deaths of so many in Asia, Latin America and other areas of the world.
		The death toll for which Kissinger bares responsibility in Indochina alone is in the millions, and Kissinger and Nixon were the ones who expanded that terror to neighboring states, where they, without warning or authorization, deliberately bombed populated areas.
		KISSINGER: Well, Russia is in a very curious position, and I hope some of the reports that I have read aren't true, because no country has been -- I was in Russia in July and talked to many of their leading people.

	The Latest Kissinger Outrage - Why is a proven liar and wanted man in charge of the 9/11 investigation? By Christopher ...

		But the cynicism of the decision and the gross insult to democracy and to the families of the victims that it represents has to be analyzed to be believed.
		Otis Pike's parallel inquiry in the House (which brought to light Kissinger's personal role in the not-insignificant matter of the betrayal of the Iraqi Kurds, among other offenses) was thwarted by Kissinger at every turn, and its eventual findings were classified.

		Kissinger: I mean, uh, really, this sort of comment is one of the reasons why the conduct of foreign policy is becoming nearly impossible under these conditions.

		Although he is very penetrating in analyzing Kissinger's techniques and views as National Security Advisor and later as Secretary of State, he stops short of giving us his views on whether they were good and bad, focusing instead on whether or not they worked, and what reaction they provoked.
		This is as it should be-- Kissinger is too complex a subject and too emotional a topic to be fed someone else's reaction to his actions.
		What Isaacson does is provides an excellent insight into Kissinger's complex personality, as well as an analysis of his foreign policy, the effects of his personality on his policy, and the options available to him.

	Kissinger quits 9/11 commission, blames controversy over clients
		Kissinger had resisted calls from Senate Democrats that he publicly disclose his business clients in order to guard against any conflicts of interest.

		Kissinger's appointment, announced on Nov. 27, was immediately attacked by some Democrats and liberal commentators, who argued that Kissinger's polarizing role in directing foreign policy during the Nixon and Ford years made him unfit to lead a panel aimed at unearthing unpleasant truths.

		While Kissinger enjoys a sort of morbid celebrity status at home, he is less at ease abroad where at least once he has been legally detained to answer questions about his responsibility for the "disappearance" of foreign nationals.
		The book is slim, but fairly detailed, and while it focuses on Kissinger (deservingly), the implicit thesis of the book is the flaw of international legal standards, that is to say, when a statesman commits crimes and is powerless he is hanged, if the statesman is powerful he is worshipped.
		Kissinger came in at the point of trying to win the end honorably; but the protestors and liberals pushed so ugly that all those poor cambodians and vietnamese fell to communism.
