6. It wouldn't seem legal for a former Sec. of State to be conducting his own private foreign policy.

Clearly this is NOT something the Carter administration would have wanted.

It truly reinforces the idea there is a shadow government which stays in place regardless of whether a Democrat has been elected to serve as the President, bringing his own values, and standards to his own foreign policy.

Kissinger should have been held accountable for this so long ago. Kissinger undoubtedly continued to play his secret game with fascists governments, authorizing himself as US spokesman long after he should have completely left office.

What he had already done with Nixon, and Chile, and all those other enormous catastrophes was so reprehensible we never really knew much about it until long after it happened, as they did, using Nixon's words, "make sure our hand doesn't show."
