In that same vein, prosecutor's offices and the FBI are notorious for exaggerating the effects of their efforts i.e. saying "The mob is finished" or "this is the blow that crippled the mob."

Family Secrets did nothing of the sort, yet look at the language in their press releases. DiFronzo and their top capo's were not even touched. Listen to Giuliani rant about his prosecutions in the 1980s that brought down the five families.

If you purely believe what the FBI says and claims then you probably would think the mob was killed off with the commission trials.

You need common sense to call a spade a spade and frankly, some people don't have it (or have an interest against it because they've been arguing the same position for years and have trouble saying "I was wrong.")
