Let's review. Hillary's mentor: Henry Kissinger's shocking war crimes.

Kissinger infamously insisted “The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.”

In his book “The Trial of Henry Kissinger,” the late journalist Christopher Hitchens detailed the war crimes Kissinger partook in. Hitchens described Kissinger as a master of “depraved realpolitik” with “a callous indifference to human life and human rights” who is complicit in U.S.-backed atrocities in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, East Timor, Chile, Bangladesh, Cyprus, Kurdish Iraq, Iran, South Africa, Angola and more.

Hitchens argued the former secretary of state should be tried in court “for war crimes, for crimes against humanity, and for offenses against common or customary or international law, including conspiracy to commit murder, kidnap and torture.”

Kissinger’s list of misdeeds is incredibly long, but the following are just a few that Salon has previously reported.

In the 1970s, Kissinger met with Nazis to offer help on overthrowing West Germany’s left-leaning government.

When the Khmer Rouge was carrying out genocide in Cambodia in 1975, killing millions of people, Kissinger declared “You should tell the Cambodians that we will be friends with them.”

“We are prepared to improve relations with them,” he said, adding “They are murderous thugs, but we won’t let that stand in the way.”

Kissinger also met with representatives from far-right Latin American dictatorships and told them the U.S. would help them “to succeed” in their campaign of systematic state terrorism against left-wing movements, known as Operation Condor.

In “The Trial of Henry Kissinger,” Christopher Hitchens accused Kissinger of the following crimes, recommending that they be tried in international court:

1. The deliberate mass killing of civilian populations in Indochina.
2. Deliberate collusion in mass murder, and later in assassination, in Bangladesh.
3. The personal suborning and planning of murder, of a senior constitutional officer in a democratic nation — Chile — with which the United States was not at war.
4. Personal involvement in a plan to murder the head of state in the democratic nation of Cyprus.
5. The incitement and enabling of genocide in East Timor
6. Personal involvement in a plan to kidnap and murder a journalist living in Washington, D.C.

1. She considers him to be her mentor?

...does not sound logical, to me.

2. Read the article. That she invoked him last night isn't logical.

4. What about her record -- it's none too savory either.

She never met an illegal invasion she didn't like.

5. When the phone rings at 3am she's gonna get advice from Kissinger?

That's a pretty bizarre campaign strategy to keep referencing Kissinger. He's the original neo-con...he makes Cheney look like a fuzzy kitten. I don't understand it, but I hope she keeps it up. Everybody 55 and older remembers Kissinger, and thinks he should have been put on trial at The Hague. I can only surmise she's in panic mode, and we all know she doesn't react rationally when under pressure.

6. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, cali.

7. Wow.

In a June 2009 email titled “Startegy memo,” Clinton mentions an upcoming dinner she will be having with Kissinger — along with Cold War-era statesman and National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who pushed for the U.S. to arm Islamic extremist mujahideen militants in Afghanistan in order to fight the Soviet Union, giving rise to al-Qaeda and the Taliban. --
