Let us think of Rossi in terms of how he would fit into the great

Bernard Madoff comes first to mind.
But then, one thinks, Rossi's so much cleverer than the rest of us,
surely he's the smartest guy in the room....
In the end, though, one thinks of the accuracy of Rossi's public
statements, and perhaps name which fits best is al-Sahaf. But we shall
have to wait and see how the game plays out to know for sure.
(Oh, sorry, those weren't fictional characters I was referring to, were
they? Oh, well... real life is often too strange to allow us to find
good parallels in fiction, IMHO.)
