Seems contentious to say that "Tommaso Buscetta became the first Sicilian Mafioso to become an informant, or pentito, and co-operate with the authorities." Dickie considers this to be a myth, I think, and is of the opinion that there were always pentiti. He talks specifically about one whose name I can't remember but who was discredited as insane...

You are indeed correct. It was Leonardo Vitale who was discredited. That section does need updating and I plan on moving a lot of the info to a seperate article about the Mafia War. I'll get round to it soon. Robert Mercer 19:12, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
