Its still pretty unclear about Fredo's role in the assassination attempt and other things.

What help did he provide? "we need more help" what did he do prior to that phone call?

Closing the drapes wasn't enough maybe.


The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

This is an often-posted-upon topic, and you'd do well to search some of the earlier answers. But briefly: Many people here think Fredo opened the drapes for the would-be assassins. And the "more info" Johnny Ola wanted was to know if Frankie was going to come alone to his meeting with the Rosatos, or if he was going to "bring his boys."

E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

I don't believe Fredo opened the drapes. He claims he didn't know it was a hit, thus if he were instruced to open the drapes of Michael's bedroom, surely he would know that's exactly what was going to take place.

Then again, maybe I give Fredo too much credit. ;\)

Scarfather -

I enjoy the fact that people such as yourself are interested in discussing some of the unseen scenerios that may have taken place within the GF Trilogy.

However I think that you've been here long enough to see that we've had many different posts about this same exact question that you bring up.

Again, I think that I can safely speak for everyone who posts in this thread when I say that we all enjoy these discussions. But it would also help if you would use the search feature that Don Malta has provided us with and revive an old topic about the same issue instead of creating three or four of the same topics in this thread.

Here's a link to some old posts regarding the POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO THE DRAPES QUESTION

I think that you'll enjoy it.



Don Cardi cool

Five - ten years from now, they're gonna wish there was American Cosa Nostra. Five - ten years from now, they're gonna miss John Gotti.

Wow... why dont you guys just accept the fact that there is going to be some redundancy or... different angles to same situations? New members coming in and wanting live interaction instead of old threads.

Try promoting the board instead of promoting searching and lurking... sometimes there are hours where no one posts in this section....

Its cool... I will move along... just lurk once in a while...

Note that Don Cardi didn't say, "search, find your answer, and move along." His recommendation was to search for the topic, have a look at the posts, and then "revive," i.e. add your new post to the old thread if you have something else to add. Nothing dismissive or conversation-stifling here.

Cheers,

~90caliber
