[I have one map of Belgrade, Yugoslavia that I bought at a local bookstore for $1.99. It has a copyright date of 1999]. I suggest that in the future you check with Internet. I managed to find the following addresses in about five minutes of searching: Federal Directorate of Supply and Procurement Tresnjin Cvet ST. 5 11000 Belgrade, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Embassy of the People's Republic of China Tresnjin Cvet ST. 3 11000 Belgrade, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia." A comment from Ralph McGehee: The above was written to highlight the CIA's failure re the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. But to me, behind the black humor, is a new reality. Most information can be found on Internet, calling into question the need for large intelligence/operational bureaucracies. Why build huge staffs when you can acquire from Internet most everything you need with a only few clicks? To correct the problems of intelligence, the House of Representatives however, increased the intelligence budget for next year to about thirty billion dollars -- that buys a lot of clicks. Of course we know from pronouncements by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence -- whose Chairman and whose Chief of Staff are both former CIA officers -- that they plan to ensure the CIA continues to have a strong paramilitary capability as well as re-investing in media/disinformation operations. John Millis, the Chief of Staff, also said that one percent 1% of the intelligence budget was for all source analysis. One can see in this under investment why the accidental bombing of the Chinese embassy could occur. Analysis is a bad word, we want an operational CIA to run covert operations all over the world and analysis challenges this. DCI Tenet has said he wants an operational agency with many new operations and many more overseas stations. I do not believe that the bombing of the Chinese Embassy was deliberate but there is a definite push to generate antipathy towards China -- this seems to be coming mostly from the Republicans (and the CIA?). Porter Goss, the Chairman of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, is a Republican. It will be interesting to watch and see how, or how quickly, we can generate enough media heat and hype to begin paramilitary operations in China. If we succeed in this, the consequences of the Vietnam War will be small in comparison.
