Here's from the Wikipedia page concerning former Luciano/Genovese Family boss Frank Costello:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Costello"Frank Costello (born Francesco Castiglia; January 26, 1891 – February 18, 1973) was a New York City gangster who rose to the top of America's underworld, controlled a vast gambling empire across the United States and enjoyed political influence.
"Nicknamed the "Prime Minister of the Underworld", he became one of the most powerful and influential Mafia bosses in American history, eventually leading the Luciano crime family (later called the Genovese crime family)."

"Costello was the godfather to ABC News reporter and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Assistant Director for the Office of Public Affairs John Miller. Miller's father and Costello were close friends."

Here's from the Wikipedia page for John Miller:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Miller_%28journalist%29"John Miller is the current Associate Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Analytic Transformation and Technology.[1] Prior to this job, Mr. Miller was an Assistant Director of the FBI for Public Affairs, where he was the Bureau's national spokesman. Miller is also a former ABC News reporter and anchorman, perhaps best known for conducting a famous May 1998 interview with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.[2] He is regarded as an expert on organized crime, especially the Mafia, and also on domestic and international terror groups.[by whom?]"

It's funny, but, after 9/11, all the Patriarca family guys here in Providence (according to my information) were saying things like "Afghanistan, they say it's a mountainous country? I say bomb it flat! BOMB IT FLAT!". Apparently, not all made guys are equally "in on it".
