She's single, successful, worldly—and the object of affection of a mad dictator. Embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi unwittingly provided a bit of comic relief this week when rebels ransacking his Tripoli compound came across a photo album featuring former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
