...another American President has put his faith in the spooks from Langley to get rid of an unsavory leader, Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. As NATO warplanes roared over Serbia this spring, Bill Clinton signed a secret presidential "finding" giving the CIA the green light to try to topple Milosevic's regime. The agency's covert operation, sources tell TIME, is part of a wide-ranging plan Clinton has approved to oust the Serbian strongman. On the record, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says, "We are making it quite clear that we don't see Milosevic in the future...
DOUGLAS WALLER, a former congressional staff member, knows the defense industry from the inside out, having reported on everything from the U.S. invasion of Panama to the plan to thwart Osama Bin Laden.

As opposition street rallies demanding his ouster grow bolder, Milosevic launched his counterpunching strategy Thursday in the southern Serbian town of Prokuplje.
