This thing just continues to amaze me... Report: Albright Mulling Run for Czech Presidency WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Czech-born Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is considering running for president of the Czech Republic, a U.S. magazine said Sunday. Time magazine, quoting unnamed sources, said in its latest edition that Czech President Vaclav Havel told Albright a year-and-a-half ago that he wanted her to replace him. Albright has not rejected the idea but told Havel and other Czech officials that she will not make a decision until she and the rest of the Clinton administration leave office in January, Time said. A State Department spokeswoman declined to comment. Albright will travel to the Czech Republic in a week to join in celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the first Czechoslovak president, Tomas Masaryk. The secretary is also scheduled to meet with Havel, Prime Minister Milos Zeman and Foreign Minister Jan Kavan. Albright, who is fluent in Czech, was a baby when her diplomat father fled Prague and the Nazis who had put her father on a death list. She returned to Prague with her family after spending the war in London -- only to be forced out again in 1948 by the communists. She eventually settled in the United States.

goldsnow, Some of those cold war documents are really quite interesting. The so called "Cold War" was quite hot from time to time with dogfights over Siberia, submarine conflict, spies, and everything else. You have struck upon something I find quite strange about the American Military. It has a long history of not telling the American people the whole story. Have you noticed the lack of surprise in the media about the "100,000 dead Albanian men, age 18-60" that supposidly the Serbs murdered during the Balkan War one year ago. I'm sure those forensic investigators are still scratching their heads over what happened to the other 99,500 bodies they are unable to locate. -John
