Sorry, I was out yesterday.

That's right. And the CIA's new explanation is ridiculous. I got a note
today from Jens Holsoe, the Danish reporter who initiated the
Observer-Politiken investigation. He says the CIA waited 11 months to come
out with this new story in order to preempt anniversary commemorations of
the bombing (May 7). 

Jens also says that a dissident faction within the British parliament's
foreign affairs committee--which is preparing a report on "Lessons of
Kosovo"--knows the bombing was deliberate and wants to expose it in the
report. Of course, the majority wants to follow the official line.

I have feeling that more will come out soon.
