Unidicted war criminal Henry Kissinger appears in today's Australian. The article is sickening and proves the Murdoch broadsheet cares little about the broader implications of publishing a figure like Kissinger. He talks of his "anguish" over Vietnam and the "the West's statesmanship in shaping a global system relevant to its necessities."
Kissinger has neither crediblity nor respect. He should be in the dock and charged with war crimes. For Murdoch, however, power always comes before morality.

Indicted beautifully by Christopher Hitchens, back when he wasn't a class-A cock.
Hitchens, before he was seduced by easy answers and easy friendships, was a vital voice, on Kissinger and Mother Teresa, and others.
As for the Oz, they've published him before and will continue to do so. As I wrote, they don't care what he's done, he's the 'voice of the establishment' and that's what matters. We wait for the rantings of Saddam on the op-ed page soon enough...
Vasco,
Much of what you say is correct, BUT, elevating a person like kissinger, a man who contributedmuch to profound suffering around the world, as having a valuable insight is dangerous.
Sure, listen to what he has to say but treat him with the contempt he deserves. Think about why the Oz publishes him...
