77. Most likely
"The Chinese embassy had been housed at that location for four years. Its site was clearly marked on tourist maps that are on sale internationally, including in the English language. The embassy was well known to journalists, diplomats and other visitors to Belgrade. Its address was listed in the Belgrade telephone directory. For the CIA to have made such an elementary blunder is simply not plausible. Apart from publicly-available maps, US intelligence agencies have access to satellite reconnaissance and other high-technology surveillance, for which some $29 billion is budgetted annually."

"It is entirely conceivable that President Clinton personally had no knowledge of the plan. Given the Byzantine nature of the struggles between the White House, the Pentagon, the CIA and other elements within the US political and military establishment, it is quite possible that the bombing was designed to embarrass the Clinton administration and escalate the war. Sections of the military have hardly disguised their loathing for Clinton."
