"But that?s a very common practice among the U.S.?s rivals, and certainly Russia was doing the same thing with Milosevic." In the end, though, even discounting the mounting evidence that the CIA and Pentagon merely bungled the job, the motive just doesn?t measure up. "It seems implausible that the U.S. would wreck its relations with China over something as trivial as intelligence sharing," says Waller. Incompetent but not stupid?
