A 50-year-old system allows diplomats to criticise their bosses
AMERICA’S STATE DEPARTMENT has been working overtime since war between Israel and Hamas broke out in October. Antony Blinken, the secretary of state, has travelled twice to the Middle East to emphasise President Joe Biden’s support for Israel and urge the country to act with restraint in its battle against Hamas. But not all American diplomats support their government’s stance.
In April 1971 Archer Blood, consul-general in East Pakistan , sent the first dissent memo. Blood warned that Pakistan’s army was perpetrating genocide against Bengalis in the country, as it fought to prevent East Pakistan from seceding. His memo accused America of failing to condemn the atrocities and the perpetrators. The “Blood Telegram” had little impact, however. Nixon and his secretary of state, Henry Kissinger, saw Pakistan’s leader as their conduit to China and ignored the cable.
