The book described on TV blames Kissinger for it all I suppose. Did he really call off NV peace agreements just for elections and personal power? It is hard to imagine the hatred among some of the left for the Nixon/Kissinger days. They will make up, lie about, and do anything to besmirch them and the CIA during that time. I think, like most leaders, they were trying to do their best under difficult circumstances. The left was doing their best to rip this country apart over Viet Nam, and the Right was reacting strongly. You will notice that some posters, even today, cannot talk about this subject without great emotion. I take everything thrown at Kissinger with a large grain of salt because of that. Viet Nam is still a very emotional subject here. It happened at the same time that the Left in this country was at it's ascendency, and fed their cause.
