Why do you think, or more importantly, what made Rocco expendable at that point?

Was it that Michael wanted Roth dead no matter what the cost and knowing that basically it would be a suicide mission decided by process of elimination that Rocco was the least valuable to him (Michael) at that point?

Or did Michael come to that decision because he felt that there was a very good chance that Rocco may have been the 'inside man' that killed the Tahoe assassins before they were found?

Remember what Michael says when Tom asks him "What about your people ROCCO and NERI? You don't think that they had something to do with this?"

Michael replies "You see -- all our people are business men, their loyalty is based on that. Now, one thing that I learned from Pop was to try to think as people around you think. Now on that basis, anything's possible."

Any thoughts?
