...underground group. Aside from the few FLQ spokesmen they could lay their hands on (Lemieux and Vallieres were among the first to be arrested), the police and the military were singularly unsuccessful in cracking the FLQ's tight security and uncovering is members. If there were any truth or logic to what the Trudeau government was doing, it would have outlawed the FLQ only if it knew precisely the people in the FLQ whom it was looking for and then sought them out with a minimum of dispatch. But the available evidence now indicates that...
