I agree in principle that the Bonannos are bar none the most embarrassing excuse for a Mafia family of all the five families. But what Joe Bonanno did is a long way off from what Joe Massino did. Nobody, at least not directly, went to jail as a result of Bonanno's book, nor did he in any way co-operate with the government. The book and subsequent 60 Minutes appearance were two more shameful chapters in the pathetic saga of the Bonanno borgata but it was not equivalent to turning state's witness and testifying against your own Underboss!
