Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke today told Congress the CIA found that while Muslims and Croatians also are guilty of such crimes, "the burden of responsibility and guilt lies clearly with the Serbs." The New York Times reported that the U.S. was keeping the report secret because it could undermine the western support of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic as a potential peacemaker. Holbrooke denied that.TIME central Europe bureau chief James Graffsays...
