What the Indians, said Nixon, need—what they really need—is …a mass famine. Kissinger replied, Theyre such bastards. -- from the White House tapes, as reprinted in Unholy Alliances: Nixon, Kissinger and the Bangladesh Genocide, The New Yorker, Sept. 23, 2013. While the slaughter in what would soon become an independent Bangladesh was underway, the C.I.A. and State Department conservatively estimated that roughly two hundred thousand people had died (the official Bangladeshi death toll is three million). Some ten million Bengali refugees fled to India, where untold numbers died in miserable conditions in refugee camps. -- Politico, January 2014 https://facebook/events/264388577071044/?ref_dashboard_filter=upcoming&source=1
