00:10 I thought he was intelligent, charming.

00:13 He has been a major force in our lives.

00:17 His knowledge, his background.

00:19 The art of diplomacy.

00:22 I think Kissinger is clearly an extraordinarily brilliant man.

00:26 He was a fascinating mixture of power and strategy.

00:32 Brilliant and also manipulative and also very secretive.

00:36 He realized that just creating yourself as a celebrity

00:39 gave you more power.

00:42 I think he's a war criminal.

00:46 A savage, brutal blow against North Vietnam.

01:28 Sometimes statesmen have to choose among evils.

01:31 I do think that somewhere down deep,

01:34 he knows what he was doing.

01:35 I think the idea of Kissinger as a war criminal

01:38 is a very dangerous idea.

01:40 Yes, Kissinger ought to be the subject

01:42 of an international tribunal of a legal process in the United

01:45 States and elsewhere.

01:47 I got to tell you, the dark side of Henry Kissinger

01:49 is very, very dark.
