Over the last decade, an avalanche of documents -- transcripts of conversations and phone calls, declassified memos, and embassy cables -- have implicated Henry Kissinger in crimes in Bangladesh, Cambodia, southern Africa, Laos, the Middle East, and Latin America. He’s tried to defend himself by arguing for context. “Just to take a sentence out of a telephone conversation when you have 50 other conversations, it’s just not the way to analyze it,” Kissinger said recently, after yet another damning tranche of documents was declassified. “I’ve been telling people to read a month’s worth of conversations, so you know what else went on.”

Keep your enemies close?

That’s interesting. I’ve never liked Kissinger but there must be some benefit to us if President Trump is having him at the White House at the first State Dinner.

“Why in heavens name is this man welcomed in the White House?

Two reasons come to mind.

First, he may just be like Shamu at sea world - a big attraction.

Second if anyone knows were all the bodies of the world are buried it’s Henry Kissinger.

I suspect he is cooperating.
