Happy 11 September... http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB255/index.htm Quote: In their first substantive conversation following the military coup in Chile, Kissinger and Nixon discuss the U.S. role in the overthrow of Allende, and the adverse reaction in the new media. When Nixon asks if the U.S. "hand" will show in the coup, Kissinger admits "we helped them" and that "[deleted reference] created conditions as great as possible." The two commiserate over what Kissinger calls the "bleating" liberal press. In the Eisenhower period, he states, "we would be heroes." Nixon assures him that the people will appreciate what they did: "let me say they aren’t going to buy this crap from the liberals on this one." Andrew
