Sanguinetti's argument has always struck me as wrong-headed.

Prompted by your questions, yesterday I had a look around the WWW with
Google for some references, and found, amongst other things, the
transcripts from 2000 of Piperno and Pace's appearance before an Italian
parliamentary commission into the Moro killing.

They are quite long and entertaining to read, and part of the argument
by Pace is precisely against the notion that the BR were run by a
section of the state.

Tthe URL I found was http://www.misteriditalia.com/casomoro/audizioni/audizioni.htm

Now, this isn't the parliamentary site, so it's possible the transcripts
have been tampered with, but my gut feeling says not. And I think the
originals are online elsewhere if others want to check.

It also seems that there is something to Abse's accusation that Pace
briefly flirted with the BR in late 1977.

Finally, Chris I don't think it's accurate call Rifondazione stalinist.
It may have all sorts of faults - from my point of view, it's a party,
so that's a bad start in any case - but today it seems more like a
classic interwar centrist party like the SAPD, PSOE etc, with lots of
'movementists' and all sorts of trotskyist (open) entrists ...
