MICHAEL
I want you to reach Fredo. I know
he's scared, but have one of our
people reach him. Assure him that
there will be no reprisals. Tell
him that I know Roth misled him.

HAGEN
My information is that Fredo
thought it was a kidnapping. Roth
assured him nothing would happen to
you.

So if Fredo thought it was a kidnapping why would he have complied with opening the drapes? Additionally who were Fredo's men? I've never seen them and would assume at that point in the saga, probably not muscle or button men. I would assume they were more businessmen like Mike said running the casino's, chicken ranches, etc.
