The thing is, from that report, that info either came from the CCC or the FBI, and the way it is phrased, it's the CCC.
That is why I was wondering if they really knew what they were talking about or if they are just amateur "mobologists" like most other writers etc.
Jim Wagner was head of the CCC until 2009...and he was an OC FBI squad Supervisor. I'm guessing his connections and experience would rate more than mob watcher status.
Btw that article with Grant is pretty crazy when you think about it. Only one full time OC squad in Chicago and only two for NYC. Amazing to see how much of their resources have gone to Terrorism.
