It repeats the mistake made in 1957 by Massu, who assumed that he faced a cohesive organization with a single command structure. Relative calm was restored to Algiers for a couple of years after his arrival, but then the insurgency broke out again with redoubled strength, and the French had to leave the country in 1962.
即使将道德和法律问题放在一边——当然我们绝不能这样做——严刑拷打和暗杀策略是否能够达成平息叛乱的目的也值得怀疑。这会重演马苏1957年犯下的错误——他认为他面临着由同一个指挥结构发号施令的组织。他抵达阿尔及尔后，重新建立了相对平静，但不久起义死灰复燃，而且声势更加壮大，马苏也不得不于1962年离开阿尔及利亚。
