Murder in Loudoun...Ten Years After the Bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade
劳登县的谋杀…轰炸贝尔格莱德的中国大使馆十年后
In her blog at Foreign Policy, The Cable, Laura Rozen reports on the “spooky” murder of a retired Army officer, William Bennett, in Loudoun, Virginia.
罗拉·罗斯在杂志《外交政策》网的博客里讲述了一名退役美军官员威廉·本尼特在弗吉尼亚州劳登县的离奇被杀。
(译者注：根据网上资料显示，罗拉·罗斯（Laura Rozen）被称作“不受中情局法规约束的记者”：http://www.hellouk.org/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t157160.html )
Bennett and his wife were battered by unknown assailants while they were on their early-morning walk.
本尼特和他的妻子在清晨散步的时候受到未知的袭击者连续攻击。
Ms. Rozen tells us:
罗斯女士告诉我们：
In 1999, sources bring to our attention, Bennett was a retired Army lieutenant colonel working at the CIA on contract as a targeter during the 78-day NATO air war on Kosovo. He was one of the people, according to a former U.S. intelligence source, found responsible by the Agency for feeding the target into the system that resulted in the May 7, 1999 NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.
资料显示，1999年，在为期78天的北约对科索沃的空袭中，作为退役陆军中校的本尼特是一名与美国中情局签约工作的空袭目标标记人员。据一名美国前情报人员称，本尼特是美国中情局认定的导致1999年5月7日北约轰炸位于贝尔格莱德的中国大使馆的责任人员之一，他把中国大使馆列入了北约空袭目标清单。
The U.S. government declared that the bombing of the Chinese embassy was unintentional and the result of a targeting flub.
美国政府当时宣称，对中国大使馆的轰炸是无意的和标示错误的结果。
Ms. Rozen’s source inform her that Mr. Bennett was the hitherto unnamed “CIA employee” who was fired in 2000 for putting “the X on the map in the wrong place”.
罗斯女士所掌握的资料告诉她，本尼特先生就是迄今为止没有具名的那位“美国中情局雇员”，就是他因为“把X标示在地图的错误位置上”而于2000年被中情局解雇。
Therefore, one of the theories floating around the Internet is that Bennett was murdered by the Chinese in retaliation for the 1999 bombing.
所以，网络上风传的说法之一是：本尼特因为1999年（对中国驻南联盟大使馆）的轰炸，被中国人报复而谋杀。
Not likely, in my opinion.
不太像，在我看来。
If the bombing was unintentional, as the United States insists, it would be rather petty and inexplicable for the Chinese to murder Bennett ten years later for his mistake.
如果轰炸是无意的，就像美国坚持的那样，那么中国人在十年后才因为本尼特的错误来谋杀他这种说法就显得心胸狭窄和解释不通的了。
If the bombing was intentional, as many Chinese believe, one would think they would find more senior and suitable targets for their revenge.
如果轰炸是有意的，就像很多中国人认为的那样，人们会想，中国人可能会寻求更高级别的和更适当的目标来进行报复。
As Ms. Rozen points out, the mission that bombed the Chinese embassy was the only bombing package initiated by the CIA during the entire Kosovo war. Indeed, the entire mission was reportedly flown by the U.S. Air Force outside NATO channels.
就像罗斯女士指出的那样，轰炸中国大使馆的那次空袭任务是 整个科索沃战争中唯一一次由美国中情局发起的空袭系列。确实，那次空袭被报道为是由美国空军在北约渠道之外执行的。
The idea that the CIA a) used their only targeting opportunity to take out Yugoslav Federal Directorate of Supply and Procurement and b) relied on an outdated map to fix the coordinates of this apparently insignificant bureaucratic outpost and c) mistakenly bombed the Chinese embassy that happened to be sitting on those coordinates strains credulity.
对美国中情局当年的几点观点a) 使用他们唯一的瞄准机会来铲除南斯拉夫联邦军需供应采购局，b）依赖过期的地图来精准标示这个明显不重要的官僚机构所在地的坐标， c) 错误轰炸了凑巧在那坐标上的中国大使馆，都不足以解释他们所声称的轻信论。
The most interesting theory is that the Chinese embassy in Belgrade was bombed intentionally because the U.S. government suspected it was harboring components of an F-117 Stealth fighter that Yugoslavian air defense had been able to bring down the two weeks before.
最有趣的论说是，中国在贝尔格莱德的大使馆是被无意中轰炸的，因为美国政府怀疑他们暗中收集了之前两周的时候，被南斯拉夫空军击落的一架（美国）F-117隐形战斗机的碎片。
The theory, in addition to being interesting, is not outlandish. In fact, it’s rather plausible.
这种论说，除了有趣以外，并不是稀奇古怪的。实际上，这反而是似乎真实的。
