The tape made reference to several notorious mass murderers, including Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy.

Worst of all, there is a widespread fear that the U.S. will be pulled into deeper involvement in the Bosnian bloodbath. Serbs, or Muslims eager for American intervention, might shoot down a cargo plane, triggering a military response. One U.S. congressional staff member also draws a parallel to air drops of supplies to Iraqi Kurds in 1991; they proved ineffective, and the U.S. and allies had to send in ground troops...
