The Blood telegram is seen in the liberation war museum in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Archer K. Blood, a United States diplomat who in 1971 became the first to use the State Department's "dissent channel" to condemn Pakistan's bloody assault on Dhaka at the start of Bangladesh's war of independence against Pakistan, sent an angry cable that detailed the atrocities and used the word "genocide."
