A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day... section on March 16, 2005 and March 16, 2006.

Just for the record, Aldo Moro was a CIA agent himself. He accepted money in briefcases from CIA operatives and personally gave these money-luggages to italian mafia representatives, who were contracted to murder certain italian organized labour (workers' union) leaders, whom the italian government and the CIA choose to target to stop the wave of labour strikes. At least SEVEN union leaders were murdered this way. Thus Aldo Moro was a spy, a traior and public enemy of his own nation and his execution by the revolutionary court was right and just. 195.70.48.242

Edit: Proofs? anon

These statements are just speculations. Never heard about in Italy. --pippo2001 03:52, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Speculation is putting it delicately. It is slander, pure and simply. Apparently Red Brigade admirers can't help but try to villify the innocent victims of this violent, murderous organization. And it is an age-old tradition among communists (at least, it is in Europe) to paint all political opponents as "CIA agents". Shameless slander won't change the facts, though. 193.92.81.11 00:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

The above statement is pure rubbish and fiction. There is absolutely no proof of it and I have never heard of any such nonsense.

This article is in serious need of cleaning up in my opinion. I found it to be very difficult to follow. It is stated that he was Prime Minister five times in the opening and then that he held that office only two times later on. I also find the grammar to be incorrect in several places.

[edit] Negotiations

I have removed a hard-to-follow seance story, and although I have left a second unsourced speculation "It has been suggested that some politicians..." Is there a source? Who suggested? KillerChihuahua^?!? 14:44, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

No source. But, honestly, this is common opinion in Italy.

I am new to this subject, but thought this could be rather relevant to this article:

[edit] Assessment

If anyone is currently working on this article, you might consider nominating it for GA status - a ittle bit of copyediting and a few more references are all that should be required. Carom 17:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

This article will need much more work for it become GA in the future. Especially the "historical compromise" needs work, as PCI was never going to get any cabinet members to start with, and was only to provide for a parliamentary majority. This was known before Moro was kidnapped. (i.e. there was no historical compromise to begin with). Intangible2.0 17:01, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, to much attention is given ludicrous fringe theories about the kidnap and his death, which are not even properly referenced. - Mafia Expert (talk) 17:27, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

These "ludicrous fringe theories" are properly referenced. They also have much more sense than a story about some "second brigade rouge" (that noone knew existed before the kidnapping) kidnapping a politician that was going to introduce left-wing party in the parliament. Obviously a cui bono argument gives quite an unequivocal answer. And it's not about Red Brigades. Face it.

About GA: this does not look like a good nominee to me: the reason is two parts of the article propose two totally different versions, and they do not match together at all, have no proper connection, just claim totally different things.FeelSunny (talk) 08:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC

At this point, which is well after the terrorism of Gladio has been public acknowledged, the only thing "ludicrous" is the blind acceptance of explanation by government officials who time and time are busted in lies. Frankly, the story about "Red Brigades" is absurd, Aldo Moro was obviously assassinated by the US/UK/NATO. Furthermore, it seems that a reference to Webster Tarpley, who was commission by the Italian government to investigate Aldo Moro's assassination and who determined it be US/UK/NATO, is missing here. This yet another blatant case of Wikipedia disregarding its own NPOV standard for political reasons, covering up acts of treason not only against Italy but also the USA and the UK in the 9/11 and 7/7 articles and many others.

[edit] Confusing dates

Aldo Moro was abducted in 1978. How does this correlate with the cinematic adaptation called Todo modo (1975)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.89.21 (talk) 15:33, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

     Todo modo is not an adaptation of the kidnapping, it just contains a character inspired by Aldo Moro

[edit] Alternative Theories

Should there really be any mention of "alternative theories" about Moro? They strike me as essentially fringe theories. I recommend the entire section be deleted immediately. I'm unfamiliar with Italian politics, but frankly I'm yet to find a credible source that espouses these views. It's rather obviously added by conspiracy theorists. The quote about "sacrificing" Moro strikes me as a quote devoid of context on par with "pull it". Joker1189 (talk) 05:12, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

They seem all documented by the provided references. I would change the title, since "alternative points of view" seems indeed to imply the following sections contains conspiracy theories. 78.13.162.57 (talk) 14:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
