In 2002, Kissinger was the coordinator of the Not In Our Name statement of conscience against the impending war on Iraq. Pro-war commentators such as Christopher Hitchens and Laura Ingraham pointed to Kissinger's involvement as indicating that opposition to the war was being organized by the far left. Subsequently, he was also the convener of the International Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration. When the commission released its findings, he was quoted as saying "We want this to be a step in the building of mass resistance to war, to torture, to the destruction of the earth."
