There was that fine June afternoon that I fell asleep after snagging a front row seat at Madeleine K. Albright's Commencement address (my apologies again, Madam Secretary...
...control of the organization. Thaci has denied the allegations. Of course, such skulduggery might be par for the course in guerrilla movements, but the KLA has been implicitly anointed as Washington?s political partner in Kosovo. As early as the Rambouillet talks in February, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright initiated a friendly photo opportunity with Thaci and his delegation, and last week pressed unsuccessfully for NATO to agree to the KLA's forming a provisional army for Kosovo.

In 1997, Helms snuffed out former Massachusetts governor William Weld?s Mexico ambassadorship because Weld hailed from the GOP?s moderate wing, and Helms doesn?t like his kind. In Holbrooke?s case, it?s just another swipe at Clinton, though the official reason is "ethical baggage." Never mind that Holbrooke...
