Kissinger could be next target
Robert Lea, Evening Standard
12 May 2004


<snip>
LAWSUITS against former Daily Telegraph boss Lord Black and his ex-colleagues at the scandal-ridden Hollinger group could be extended to its non-executive directors headed by one-time US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Following claims against Black, his wife Barbara Amiel and former executives at Hollinger International over alleged misuse of company funds, investors are demanding the investigation into the group should be widened.

If claims are extended across the Hollinger board, that would take in not just Kissinger but also Richard Perle, a former US assistant defence secretary, and Marie-Josee Kravis, once a member of the group's audit committee and wife of billionaire venture capitalist Henry Kravis.

The claims could centre on the head of Hollinger's audit committee James Thompson, a former Governor of Illinois, who sits on the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the US, which has been interrogating President George Bush over the events of 9/11.

2. "If it stinks, then he's there..."
He certainly is among the ring leaders who orchestrate most political scandals. Especially the BFEE ones involving using politicians as oil industry pimps in order to justify glorified turf wars like the present situation in Iraq and Afghanistan.

6. Yes, and you can bet that this creep is lurking in the dark shadows
of all Carlyle Group members.

Henry Kissinger is also very good friends with Thomas Kean that is chairing the 911 Investigation and also John Negroponte the new viceroy of Iraq.

8. Perle's not exactly like a human being. Something's missing in him.
He's got some real problems, and they shouldn't be our country's problems.

9. Agreed, but I will settle for seeing him in court on this, for now....
it's a start, albeit a small one.

And Nixon is dead, and Ronald Reagan doesn't remember.
