Actually, mim3, it was the publication "El Diario" in Lima, not the 
individual Arce Borja who conducted the interview in 1988.  Your 
boss Adolfo was the one distorting the historical record when he 
put Arce's name on each question.  The only place in the original 
publication that LAB's name appears is on the front cover, where 
he is listed along with Janet Talavera (who Adolfo didn't even 
bother to mention, although she paid with her life for being 
associated with that interview).

But then, this distortion only follows the pattern of your other 
distortions, for example:

<<<Agent Quispe justifies this position by pointing to a pro-RIM
 document written by the PCP Central Committee. But this 
 document  was written prior to Gonzalo's arrest, prior to 
 Operation Capitulation,  and prior to Co-RIM's attempts to prop 
 up capitulationist deserters by calling them "PCP." >>>

On May 4, 1996 Luis Quispe posted to this list the PCP document  
"International Directive of the Communist Party of Peru (PCP) to 
the MPP", dated 12-01-1993 (Persident Gonzalo was captured in 
September of 1992).  This document contains the paragraph:

 "They [The individuals who persist in the slander of promoting 
the "peace talks" letters] negate Gonzalo Thought, the people's 
war, the world revolution, the new era, and the great campaign 
to defend the life of Chairman Gonzalo, that are unbreakably 
linked to the celebration of Mao's centennial.  They deny the
_development_of_the_Revolutionary_Internationalist_Movement_ 
and of the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Communist Parties in the 
world.  In essence, they defend the rotten feudal-imperialist 
ideology." (emphasis added)

Later, when your boss Oleachea quoted this same paragraph, 
he left out the sentence that mentions the RIM.  But that 
reference is definitely in the document authored by the CC 
of the PCP, written more than a YEAR after the capture of 
Chairman Gonzalo, and several months AFTER the introduction 
of the "peace talks" scheme. So sorry, mim3, but Quispe's use 
of this document is entirely correct and relevant.

You also say: 
.>>> In May of this year, Agent Quispe made the public mistake 
 on the Internet of calling for the overthrow of Luis Arce Borja, the 
 editor of El Diario Internacional, for no reasons of any political 
 importance. >>>

In actuality, the reasons which you call "of no political importance"
are clearly stated in the article of May15, that the reason for 
"overthrowing" Arce Borja is the fact that he does nothing to 
criticize and defeat the IDEOLOGY of the capitulators, some 
of whom are his previous mentors and close associates.  By 
claiming that the "peace talks" hoax was something completely 
external to the party, he can avoid carrying out the mandate of 
the PCP to smash the ideological basis, the Right Opportunist 
Line, that underlies the capitulationist scheme.

The fact that mim3 considers this to be a reason "of no political 
importance" just shows how politically bankrupt MIM is, and how 
oblivious to the real issues surrounding the question of 
capitulation and the political line behind it.
