"The political defeat of terrorism requires courageous choices: it is the famous rice paddy that must be drained. Taking into account that the boundaries of the rice paddy are better defined today than they were three months ago. And taking into account another decisive factor: the image of the Red Brigades has been overturned; cracks and weaknesses have emerged. And perhaps it is not far-fetched to think that many confessions arise not from fear, but from internal dissent, which is tearing apart the organization and the armed party’s line."
