It stands to reason he must have been doing something right to have stayed so close to the halls of power.

I was a toddler when he was carpet bombing Cambodia, never knew him as anything but “an important person” that was sometimes on the TV. Only learned of his crimes in the past decade.

How did an in-your-face war criminal retain such influence for so long?

    It’s simple; he was an awful man working within an awful system. It’s not hard to succeed when you’re perfect for a job.

      He was working for Tricky at the time. Tricky wanted to hear what Kiddinger was telling him. Had a talent for doing that for powerful people.

      Shame he didn’t die much sooner.
