Konoe spoke were held amongmembers of the powerfulHouse of Peers, an unelectedbody composed of membersof the nobility and imperialnominees. The House of Peerswas abolished in 1947 and replaced by the elected Houseof Councilors.
Konoe's pro-Germanpolicy and hawkish positiontoward the Asian mainland isoften blamed for exacerbatingJapan's dipomatic problemsleading up to the war.
He resigned as prime minister in October 1941 after realizing Japan could not win awar with the United States andtrying in vain to arrange ameeting with PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt.
Japan attacked Pearf Harboron Dec. 6 that year. Konoecommitted suicide a fewmonths after Japan's Aug. 16,1945 surrender to the Allies.

Outside the jury's presence,meanwhile, one of the prosecutors said he is ashamed of thecaseand is uncertain if he will remaina lawyer after it ends.
"It's taken IS years for me tofinally haveenoughufthis. Idon'tknow if I ever want to try anothercase. Idon't know if! ever wanttopractice law again," ChristopherDarden said in Sunday's Los Angeles Times.
He said it has shaken his faithin the system.
"Everything about thiscase, and these proceedings,is imperfect. Frankly, I'mashamed to be a part of thiscase," he said. "I'm notashamed of the efforts of ourteam. We have a great team. Iwouldn't trade it. ... But I hopethat my participation in thiscase is not the legacy that Ileave."
who have long complained ofJapan's strict and often capriciousclassification laws.
"I highly view the decision toreleasethesedocuments," NoboruIto, a professor at Tokyo's AsiaUniversity. "I hope that they willshed light on a part of history thatwas previously not well known."
Altogether, nearly 3,200pages of minutes, many handwritten in brush and ink, werereleased.
But Ito, in a commentarycarried by the mass-circulation Yomiuri newspaper,noted that the documents werecensored and one meeting wasomitted altogether because itsminutes were seized by theOccupation Forces after thewar.
The content of similar meetings held by the House of Representatives has not been declassified.

Thedefensearguedthat thegoryphotographic evidence wouldcause jurors to become emotionalto the point of irrationality.
It is the same sort of argumentthat the prosecution made in effort to prevent the defense fromuttering a racial slur in front oftheblack-majority jury during Detective Mark Fuhrman's testimony.
Superior Court Judge LanceItoallowedthe "n-word," (nigger)but also approved the introduction of most of the pictures - 44 inall from the crime scene and thecoroner's office.

Japan releases documentson secret wartime meetingsTOKYO (AP) - Almost a yearbefore Pearl Harbor, Japan'sprime minister was predictingvictory for the Germans and theinevitability of war with theUnited States and England, according to secret documents declassified on Monday.Fumimaro Konoe, prime minister from 1937-39 and 1940-41,also told a secret meeting of theHouse of Peers that to prepare forwar Japan needed to bring in laborers from the Korean Peninsula and strengthen its alliancewith Germany and Italy.
Konoe's comments, part of thehighlights ofsome two dozen secret Peers meetings held between1891and 1945,weredeclassifiedby Parliament in an unprecedented gesture to mark the 50thanniversary this year of the endof World War II.
Although the documents contained no major surprises, 'theirrelease was hailed by scholars,
in the autopsies.Golden. who isexpected to tes
tify after Sathyavagiswaran,emerged as a poor witness duringthe preliminary hearing. In addition to an edgy manner on thestand, hewaffled in his testimonyabout what weapons were used.
Robert Pugsley, a law professor at Southwestern University,said he expects the prosecution torelyon Sathyavagiswaran and thephotos to defuse the defense'scriticism of Golden.
"What it will do is preoccupythe jury with the emotional photographic evidence of whatthey're seeing," Pugsley said.
The defense contends thatGolden's failure to save Ms.Simpson's stomach contentseliminated one way. of doublechecking the prosecution's estimate of the times of the murders,pinned at about 10:15 p.m. lastJune 12.
The defense has suggested thekillings occurred later.
Back in court, they'll have alook at the autopsy photos that areso grisly the judge told them lastweek not to be shy about askingfor breaks.
The prosecution contends thepictures graphically illustrate notonly the horrors of the killings,but just how Simpson allegedlycommitted them.
Under the prosecution theory,Simpson pinned his ex-wife to theground on her stomach, yankedher head back by grabbing herblond hair, and slashed her throat.
Goldman, prosecutors say, wascornered in a gated-in area andbrutally knifed to death.
The prosecution also is counting on the pictures and the eruditetestimony of the respected coronerto divert attention from flawedautopsies performed in the case.
Sathyavagiswaran acknowledged Friday that one of his pathologists, Deputy Medical Examiner Irwin Golden, made errors

Christopher said that Aristidewanted training accelerated so6,000 cadets could be in the fieldby the time the U.N. military mission pulls out of Haiti in February1996, after the inauguration ofAristides successor.
When U.S. Marines occupiedHaiti from 1915-1934, they abolished the Haitian army and policeand created, in their place, a national guard.
The national guard controlledpolitical dissent during severaldictatorships. Then, in 1991, itousted Aristide and over the nextthree years killed as many as4,000civilians.
Aristide fired all officers abovethe rank of major in January, liquidating the army.

The 408 officers will help establish the first civilian policeforce Haiti has had in at least 60years.
"Weare on the road to a stateof law,which cannot be built without a police force, to a new land,which cannot be reached withoutrespect for human rights," President Jean-Bertrand Aristide saidat the ceremony.
U.S. Secretary of State WarrenChristopher's presence underlined the role the United Stateshas played in restructuring Haitian institutions.

Shalikushvili and MadeleineAlbright, U.S. amba:;sador to theUnited Nations, also criticizedDole's suggestion to withdrawU.N. troops and lift the arms embargo on the Bosnian government.That would require the UnitedStates to supply a large portion ofthe arms and train the Bosnians and it could escalate fighting. theadvisers said.
"It is an option that actuallywill lead to Americanizing thewar," Albright told NBC.
As an alternative to groundtroops, Perry told reporters thatthe United States is widening thesweep of its intell igence networkin Bosniaand will share the information with commanders of thenew European combat force.

But the effort was cl1l11plic:ltl'dby Seriate Majoritv Leader BobDole' s strong criticism, bipartisan concerns about a deeper U.S.role in the fighting, and the uncertain fate of an F-16 Air Force pilotshot down by a Bosnian Serb missile. "There is no clearlydefmed mission for the UnitedStates or for anybody else," Dolesaid on NBC's "Meet the Press.""We keep talking about all thesethings we're doinc, but what'sthe end game? What is our goal inBosnia and what is our interestthere? And when do we tell theAmerican people and make somechoices?" the Kansas Republicanasked.
Clinton tried over the weekendto clarify his frequently shiftingpolicy, saying Saturday thatAmerican ground troops wouldhelp restructure the United Nations force only in the "remote.highly unlikely event" that peacekeepers became stranded andneeded help moving to safety.
Days earlier, as the administration sounded out the needs ofNATO allies, the president andbis advisers had left open the possibility of a wider role for U.S.ground troops.
