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.
00:45 I think he's a liar.
00:46 A savage, brutal blow against North Vietnam.
00:49 These were his words.
00:50 That he was capable of anything.
00:51 It was an idea called the madman theory.
00:54 We were providing most of the weaponry, helicopters,
00:58 logistical support to conduct this war.
01:00 He always understood if he could get the three networks
01:02 in time in Newsweek, he was home free.
01:04 Another Marxist regime in the hemisphere?
01:07 No.
01:08 He was getting information from both sides.
01:10 He probably was giving information to both sides too.
01:12 Secret documents from the CIA and elsewhere.
01:14 He believed that in the end, what really mattered was power.
01:19 The average person thinks that morality can be applied
01:23 to the conduct of states as it can to human religion.
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.
