Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead!

The Chevy Chase line from SNL was the first thing that came to mind when I read this story:

CIA report warned of nuclear -armed Spain in 1974

The CIA feared that Spain’s military dictator Francisco Franco planned to develop nuclear weapons in the 1970s, according to a recently declassified report.

But only in an unlikely set of circumstances, including the policies of a post-Franco government, would the country acquire nuclear weapons capability, the CIA report from 1974 concluded.

Just Sayin’
