dien bien phu? and here? mr. ben m'hidi, colonel mathieu has said that you have been arrested by accident, practically by mistake. in fact, it seems that the paratroopers were looking for someone much less important than yourself. can you tell us why you were in that apartment at rue debussy last night? excuse me, colonel. i have the impression that perhaps due to excessive prudence . my colleagues continue to ask the same allusive questions, to which you can only respond in an allusive manner. i think it would be better to call things by their right names; if one means torture, then one should call it torture. the questions have already been asked. i would only like some precise answers, that's all . the law is often inconvenient, colonel .
