I'm still not ready to accept Fosco as a primary resource for information about The Outfit...he has too much of an axe to grind. But I do find the hair-splitting, the semantic arguments, and the constant bickering in the comments section to be entertaining.

Regarding the killing of Giancana, here's a post by board member HairyKnuckles from an earlier discussion with information that I would consider to be a primary resource which points to Butch as the trigger man.

Without citing his sources, the rest of Fosco's essay about who was there and what happened in the house is pure conjecture.
