"The sense of gratification was strong because otherwise we would have given up immediately. For example, during the kidnapping of magistrate Sossi, television coverage focused not so much on us as individuals but on the actions we were carrying out. Clearly, this aspect undoubtedly gratified us, in the sense that it made us feel we were on the same level, on the same footing, as those who ruled the country. We were the "counter-power"."
