http://gangstersinc.ning.com/profiles/blogs/sicilian-mafia-boss-toto-riina-prosecutors-have-to-die great article about what Riina said with some astute speculation on what it may mean. I'm thinking Carmela is right, Riina knows whatever he says will get out there - So why not rattle the bars a bit?
kuklinsky did the same thing before he died, although what he did was more towards making outrageous claims of his supposed exploits, but, I think it was coming from the same "nothing to lose" place.
