Can someone help me, or just give their opinion as to why Tom was taken out as the "consigliori"? Michael told him it was because he was not a wartime consigliori and who was a better consigliori than his father, but as the book tells vaugely that is not the reason, apart from the reasoning in the godfather 2 I cannot think of any reason for this, Tom to me had always been a careful and considerate consigliori, and dare I say, as good as any Sicilian..
