Morning Coffee - 17 April 2009

Welcome to Morning Coffee, brought to you by Lindsay Beyerstein with additional links from the UN Dispatch team. Every morning we survey foreign affairs and foreign policy news so you don't have to. We begin with the "Starting Five" items of the day -- these may not always appear on A-1, but they *are* the kinds of stories that will be buzzing in foreign capitals, the UN and wherever foreign policy minds roam.

The mysterious murder of CIA contractor William Bennett remains, well, mysterious. Bennett, who was fired from the CIA for accidentally bombing the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during the NATO war in Kosovo, was clubbed to death near his home last month by unidentified assailants. Bennett's wife was severely injured. She has finally recovered enough to talk to FBI investigators, who confided to Spy Talk that they are beginning to doubt the death was intelligence-related. Clearly, the conspiracy is bigger than we thought.
