...actually being provided by the KGB. Senators Arlen Specter and Bob Kerrey, who led the Senate inquiry, also faulted CIA Director John Deutch for understating impact of tainted information and have requested a comprehensive review of all CIA sources for the past 10 years. But TIME's Doug Waller says a major CIA shakedown this isn't. "At most, this represents a spanking for an old sin," he says. "Moreover, the allegation that CIA disinformation led to billions in wasteful Pentagon spending -- one of the major charges -- could not be substantiated, when military spending was investigated...

That's a very important part of these talks -- and there's still a lot of haggling between Croatia's Franjo Tudjman and Bosnia's Alija Izetbegovic -- but that's minor compared to the difficulties in sorting out the Bosnian/Serb agreement. That's hung up on things...
...reports issued by KGB infiltrators. That resulted in millions of dollars wasted to alter military operations in response to false information. While former CIA chief Robert Gates has denied reports that CIA Director John Deutch is planning to reprimand some 12 past and present CIA directors, TIME's Doug Waller predicts congressional leaders won't hesitate to take up the slack.
