There are many left sources for the KLA - CIA connection, e.g. Covert Action Information Bulletin. The information itself does not have an ideology as you seem to imply. Furthermore, I have never heard of this 'right-wing conspiracy nut John Whitley' in connection with Chossudovsky or any one else doing work on Yugoslavia.
