Joe Bonanno wasn't a rat, but writing that book was a rat move. He lost a lot of respect when he did that. Both Rusty and Patty DeFilippo felt betrayed by him, and they used to love that guy.
LOUIEBYNOCHI. Bonanno wouldn't have ratted. He didn't talk to Bill for years after he found out about his cooperation. Joe was an original. They were stand up, what makes you think he was any less then his "generational" succesors in the Commission case?
Ralphie_Cifaretto, its a debatable point, let's just say it wasn't wise. But where was Rusty's love/loyalty when they supported Di Gregorio/Sciacca. And to that point, what did he have to gain by protecting the people who pushed him out. I go by intentions, he could have easily said "we had a meeting at paul castellano's house" (just as an example, if he was really trying to hurt them. Just saying. Why not mention their names???
