US Press Mollycoddles Kissinger
"If Bill Clinton were selected to lead a commission examining teenage delinquency, how many times would he be asked if his Oval Office antics rendered him less-than-suitable for the position?"

No such tough questions for Kissinger, however, like the following which could never be asked:

"Doctor Kissinger, you are one of the most notorious practitioners of clandestine warfare and secret government in United States history. You oversaw a covert -- and arguably illegal -- bombing campaign in Cambodia that killed hundreds of thousands, and you have opposed disclosure of information related to government misdeeds. Is that a liability or asset in your new post as head of the independent 9/11 commission?"
