Henry Kissinger
built 279 days ago
In the US a Harvard professor named Henry Kissinger was steadily scooping up experience in international affairs and high-level corporate wheeling and dealing -a combination that was to later prove deadly for the people of Indonesia. From 1954 to 1969, Kissinger had his fingers in a number of juicy pies. From 1954 until 1971 he was a professor at Harvard University -though it is hard to see how he found time to teach- and was in the college's Department of Government and its Center for International Affairs From 1955-56, he served as Study Director of Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy for the Council of Foreign Relations. From 1956-58 he was Director of the Special Studies Project for the Rockefeller Brothers and was ... Director of the Harvard Defense Studies Program from 1958 to 1971.

Sep 30, 2003 | Henry Kissinger, ever anxious to mold his place in history, is, as Ronald Steele has said of Richard Nixon, like the Ancient Mariner, anxious to tell his story over and over again. In his new book, "Crisis: The Anatomy of Two Major Foreign Policy Crises," Kissinger now returns (once more) to two key moments in his career, largely using recently released documents to buttress his case. He first discusses the Yom Kippur War of 1973, arguably the Nixon-Kissinger team's finest hour of diplomacy; and then he turns to the "peace with honor" settlement of the Vietnam War, which Adm. Elmo Zumwalt characterized as bringing neither peace nor honor.

Henry Kissinger was finally confronted by his "ghosts" a few weeks back when he was summoned in Paris to testify in an inquiry into Operation Condor. The operation occurred in the 1970s, and was a coordinated effort by the dictatorships of Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Ecuador and Bolivia to to hunt down, torture, murder, and "disappear" any dissidents. The assassins even attacked victims in Rome and Washington, D.C. using car bombs (questions ... loom about then-CIA Director Bush Sr.'s knowledge of the Letelier car bombing) . This cartel of violence and oppression had a secret partner: Henry Kissinger. There is a growing body of evidence that Kissinger not only masterminded some of the bloody activities in S. America, but helped track down "inconvenient exiles" who had escaped to the U.S. Just after being sworn in, guess who Shrub dined with at a party hosted by the home of Washington Post maven (and exposed CIA 'mockingbird' media operative) Katherine Graham?
