Special Reports
Clinton secretary of state had her own secretive trysts

(WMR) -- Former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, an adviser to the Barack Obama campaign and godmother of chief Obama foreign policy adviser Dr. Susan Rice, carried on an affair with Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci in a flagrant abuse of her office. WMR has received further confirmation from well-placed sources in Croatia, Serbia, and Kosovo that Albright had Thaci at her virtual beck and call for sexual encounters. Thaci was in his late 20s and early 30s when he was having the affair with Albright, who was in her sixties at the time.
On December 10, 2007, WMR reported: “It is rumored that during negotiations on Kosovo in Rambouillet, France in 2000, [Secretary of State Madeleine] Albright had more than a diplomatic interest in Thaci, who was then 31. Thaci is to become the Prime Minister of Kosovo. The New York Daily News reported that when Albright walked into the hotel room of the Albanian delegation in Rambouillet at midnight, one Albanian told her to ‘go away’ and come back in five minutes. The Albanians thought Albright was a hotel cleaning lady. Albright reportedly exploded in rage and hurled explicit language at the Albanians.”
On February 17, 2008, WMR reported: “WMR has learned from sources who were in Kosovo at the time that Thaci was Albright’s virtual ‘toy boy’ and a frequent sex partner.”
Thac’s close relationship with Albright allowed him to press Washington during both the Clinton and Bush administrations to support Kosovo’s independence cause. Currently, Kosovo, recognized by the United States, Britain, France, and other countries, but diplomatically shunned by Russia, China, Greece, Spain, and other nations worried about their own secessionist movements, has become a major center for the drug, cigarette, and weapons smuggling business, as well as human trafficking for purposes of prostitution. The ersatz nation, led by Thaci’s former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) cronies, many of whom had close links to Osama Bin Laden’s “Al Qaeda” units in Kosovo, Macedonia, and Bosnia, is protected by an American military force with a major base at Camp Bondsteel.
Kosovo also represents another example of the nexus between the Russian-Israeli Mafia, which operates quite freely in Kosovo, and elements linked to “Al Qaeda,” including Chechen guerrillas. Arch neocon Richard Perle was a major supporter of Kosovo’s independence and the KLA leadership as was retired General Wesley Clark, another informal foreign policy adviser to Obama.
Albright’s Eastern European lineage -- she was born Marie Jana Korbelová in Prague to Czech parents -- was often seen by foreign policy experts in the State Department as clouding her judgment on dealing with the Balkans crisis. However, additional confirmation that Albright was having sexual trysts with the leader of the KLA, despised as a terrorist by Serbia, made her untrustworthy to Belgrade and a laughing stock throughout the Balkans and the rest of Europe, according to French and German intelligence sources with whom WMR spoke.

Germans lost their art, too
Family says Albright's father took paintings

By Suzanne Smalley


When Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs researched his biography on Madeleine Albright, he helped revive a claim against Albright's family concerning artwork allegedly appropriated by her father, the late Czechoslovak diplomat Josef Korbel.

The descendants of the family that originally owned the works of art -- which include paintings by Italian and Flemish masters -- are publicly pressing their claim against Albright. However, the U.S. secretary of state last year turned the matter over to her brother, John Korbel, whom Dobbs says is in possession of at least two of the disputed paintings.

The claim is being pressed by Philipp Harmer, the great-grandson of German industrialist Karl Nebrich, who owned a Prague apartment later given to Josef Korbel after World War II.

Like most other German-speakers living in Czechoslovakia, Nebrich and his family were expelled from the country under the postwar Benes decrees. They were forced to leave behind several paintings, as well as silver and valuable Renaissance furniture.

Harmer said he was raised on stories that Korbel spotted marks on the wall indicating that the apartment had had paintings. Korbel found them by pressuring a maid who had been trying to hide them for their former owners, according to the family version.


Dobbs said he confirmed that the paintings were in the Albright family's possession after he visited John Korbel for interviews about his sister. Harmer had provided Dobbs with sketches of the paintings, and Dobbs said he spotted two of the contested works.

Harmer, who lives in Vienna, still does not have the paintings, and he said May 12 that he holds Albright and her lawyers responsible for that. "There is no doubt that her father stole everything," he said.

Michael Evan Jaffe, a lawyer for John Korbel, has said that "there is no basis whatever for thinking that any art works of the late Ambassador [Josef] Korbel came to him improperly."
