HeadlineDec 13, 2010

The latest batch of cables show that the Clinton administration considered removing Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe from office 10 years ago. A secret cable from November 2000 reveals then U.S. Assistant Secretary Susan Rice and Zimbabwe opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai discussed a number of possible ways to push out Mugabe, who has led Zimbabwe since its independence from Britain three decades ago.
