Uruguayan seeks Kissinger extradition

I wonder if Kissinger's past will ever catch up with him:

An attorney for a victim of Uruguay's 1973-1985 dictatorship has asked his government to request the extradition of former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger over his alleged role in the notorious Operation Condor.

Condor was a secret plan hatched by South American dictators in the 1970s to eliminate leftist political opponents in the region. Details of the plan have emerged over the past years in documents and court testimony.

The Latin American dictatorships of the time "were mere executors" of a "plan of extermination" hatched in the United States by a group led by Kissinger, said attorney Gustavo Salle, who represents the family of Bernardo Arnone.

Uruguayan prosecutor Mirtha Guianze has received the request and is studying the case, according to news reports.

Of course, this isn't the only messy business Kissinger was involved in as Nixon's hatchet man. There was also the overthrow of the democratically elected president of Chile in favor of Pinochet, among many others.
