SADDAM NO SUPERÓ la "prueba Yelstin", escribe hoy Stephen Sestanovich, que fue un alto funcionario del departamento de Estado norteamericano durante la presidencia de Bill Clinton:

Most anyone who's worked in government has a story - probably re-told often these days, given the Iraq debate - about facing a big decision on the basis of information that then turned out to be wrong. My favorite is from August 1998 when, with Bill Clinton just three days away from a trip to Moscow, the Central Intelligence Agency reported that President Boris Yeltsin of Russia was dead.

Lectura del día, sin duda alguna.
