The President/Mr. Kissinger
- 4 -
K:
Exactly, they don't care where
P:
But I would -- don't let them have any credibility, say now look
since you've raised so much question that it was primarily for the purpose
of the diversion. Well, I'll tell you it's interesting to note you take a
look at the New York Times and the Washington Post today. The Times
is getting off of it in its news coverage. The Post is trying to make
something of it but they're just desperate as hell that's all because you
know the credibility and all that crap.
K:
And the Post is just an organ of the Democratic community.
P:
Sure, sure. Well, but also they are just absolutely finatical on
this subject and on anything that is done but on the ordnance thing I'd just
say well now here's the facts
K:
That's right.
P:
Have it done at Defense though not at the White House.
K:
Oh, no Defense, we should stay out of it entirely.
P:
Let them just take care of it.
K:
That's right. One thing that I thought Brucelought to do at the
meeting on Thursday in addition to what we had already planned to say,
he should say that it is bad enough that you don't release the prisoners
but there is no excuse whatever for not giving the list of prisoners and
I hereby call on you at least put these wives out of their misery, you know
something like that. It's inhumane, this is behaving like the Nazis did
in World War II.
P:
Good, use exactly that phrase.
K:
Because that's what the Nazis did with Soviet prisoners, they
wouldn't release their names.
P:
Is that right?
K:
Yeah.
P:
Well, why don't you just use that. I think we have got to get a
hell of a lot rougher you know. Lodge used to make these pleading little
noises about prisoners over there and that didn't do any good.
K:
Yeah.
