there democracies are dictatorships and i will say one last point even a democratic leader like henry kissinger and appointed leaders are poised posed to an elected leader cannot attract cannot go to certain countries because of fear of prosecution do you think that you know lied to blair democrat out of police should not apply to blair in your opinion stephen. well i think there's something to be said the blair should be at least considered a person of interest of that sort but i doubt it's ever going to happen i don't what do you think. it's one way to go i think i think it may happen certainly kissinger was guilty of carpet helping the knicks in the carpet by. hundreds of thousands of people so kissinger may be a bit more flagrant violator but but certainly if the if this goes forward they maybe have some inroads i don't i agree with stephen that it probably won't happen but i think you can you can make it happen in like kissinger sort of him livery of going overseas and that sort of thing but my question is what you know what about bush so he was the real driver of the war etc and i was onl

administration and perhaps the most illustrative quotation within this huge release of cables comes from henry kissinger himself now he's quoted as saying the illegal we do immediately the unconstitutional takes a little longer in a conversation with a turkish from a separate official now so many critics that's one line that will speak volumes about u.s. foreign policy and we've already seen reports actually that site wiki leaks saying that the vatican may have collaborated with the u.s. in supporting the pinochet coup in chile which we all know saw a very bloody regime come to power there's already a scandal in india over the release of the new cables as the late prime minister rajiv gandhi may have been a middleman for a swedish company trying to sell weapons to india there are also unconfirmed reports that cables are going to reveal that under cia orders the swedish secret police was spying on its. left leaning citizens these reports are yet to be confirmed and there is another very big scandal where there are unconfirmed reports that unreleased cables are going to reveal that call built the current
