The Duclert report makes the following comment: The word "preuves" (evidence) is indeed surrounded by quotation marks. They are affixed by Colonel Huchon in the fax of October 27. Does this mean that the Deputy Chief of Staff knows full well that there is no evidence of Uganda's involvement, and that it would therefore be a matter of forging such evidence, or at least of giving a very univocal presentation of certain non-proving elements? We are entitled to ask this question, especially as he specifies what he expects from the defense attaché, which is not limited to demonstrating an "external aggression". The manipulation must also extend to the domestic sphere, by disguising the democratization desired in Rwanda. The "few points not to be missed" following the FAR's victory over the RPF must organize the maneuver, which can be described as intoxication. [...] What Colonel Huchon demands of Colonel Galinié, in this "Personal and confidential" fax of October 27, 1990, transmitted from the Élysée telephone lines and "to be destroyed after reading", could be likened to the practices of an officine.
