Même si le Général [De Gaulle] avait autorisé une enquête, nous aurions créé une atmosphère de suspicion générale. Sans avoir la moindre chance d'identifier la taupe (...). La seule solution consistait à tenir notre information secrète et à protéger notre source. Tant que notre contre-taupe n'était pas détectée, nous restions en position de force (L'Express, 28 févr. 1981, p. 127, col. 2)
