that the OSS/CIA worked with organized crime, first around port protection, then in anti-communist activities. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It's a theory backed by the information in the book I mentioned, as well as the current book by Hartman, that there was engagement between the mafia and the CIA around the overthrow of Castro. They both wanted the same thing, as did the displaced Cubans. I guess you could call it a theory, but the reality is that the mafia will kill anyone it needs to and they don't in fact answer to anyone unless they get caught. It's also theory I suppose that mafiosa types entered the CIA, just as they entered law enforcement, judgeships, etc. It would be grossly unfair to implicate the entire CIA, and I am certain many CIA operatives are above reproach, but could a pocket of CIA operatives be connected to the mafia? You bet.
