I don’t think it’s a direct tie — the most they’re saying right now is that Kissinger blocked the sending of a cable that would have told South American leaders (dictators, most of them) not to support Operation Condor.

In the days before the Letelier bombing, that might have been enough to get the plan called off. And it might not. No way to know for sure.

But this cable does make the case for Kissinger’s involvement with Condor that much stronger.
