Archer Blood and the PROTEST telegram to the US government
During 1971 Archer K. Blood was the U.S. Consul General in Dhaka. After witnessing the unfolding genocide by Pakistani army, in a rare diplomatic move, he, along with many of his colleagues from South Asia sent a scathing telegram to the Nixon administration. Instead of listening to their protests, Archer Blood and several others were reassigned by U.S. government. He passed away in 2003. He will be remembered as a dissenting diplomat, who conscientiously stood up and made his position against the misguided U.S. foreign policy, as it unfolded in the context of Pakistan, known.
