Did you possibly stop and think that he has no choice over what he does? He''s most likely assigned cases. You probably don''t pick and choose what you do... He has probably accomplished more with his undercover work with the Italian mob than you have in your whole life.

I know most of you would rather just find fault or see the bad side of what he did but I think he was brilliant!

WHY DO I WASTE MY TIME PUNCUATING AND INDENTING

IF THE MOB GETS IT ALL?

Dear 60 Minutes

If we assume they don''t know who their own people are,
then how do we get a warrent for orginisation? Was that a fed. at the time the warrents were filed for how many times was it refused? Was the security guard that was impersonating the fed. prosicuted for his involvement in sept 11., of promoted for his propoganda skills.

He can resist the mob but not a twinkie!

He also infiltrated the Shamu family at Sea World.

Re: Your Falcone story of October 12. 2008.

Very well done by the undercover F.B.I.. except for the mythological, or should I say, the engineered legend of the La Cosa Nostra invented by Joe Valachi, the media and the F.B.I. In fact there were reactions against the use of the term MAFIA. There was a consortium of prominent Italian American professionals fed up with the characterization of all italian-americans being lumped together as evil hoodlums, who had the term Mafia legally removed from the F.B.I. lexicon. And it WAS removed for a number of years during the 60%u2019s. Then the government conspired with Joe Valachi to invent the term La Cosa Nostra . . . I KNOW! . . . I was there at the borning of this NEW criminal enterprise which took place at the old Federal Detention Headquarters on Old 12th Street and the West Side Highway.

Bravo!!!! I''ve have been watching 60 minutes since the seventies when I was a teenager. I must say the October 12 show was best one in years. I liked Ed Bradley and Andy Rooney as I knew he survived WW2. The Vino story, Sadder City stories were the best I''ve seen in years after the endless reruns the year and it was refreshing to see a great show, instead of a average new show. Thanks 60 minutes and thanks CBS for keeping a good news investigative show on the air we need shows like this in 21st century America.

All fine and well but the Latin American "gangs" MAFIA is importing the violence that is reported everyday in Mexico. These bands of mostly illegals controlling a rising empire of corruption need the real attention.

A wise guy does not gloat or show his face if he did fool the mob. Do you have a death wish?

Do mafia associates really say, "yooo dirty rat?"

[vinzenzo-2009]

I saw Armen interview FBI Agent Garcia on the CBS Evening news a few months back and it was such a great story! This is an amazing story about what seems to be an amazing man. How he was able to work over 100 undercover cases and still be effective is unbelievable! I guess because he acts and looks like a Mobster. Kudos to him and the FBI! I can''t wait to see the piece.

[hober_mallow]

Agent Garcia has got some STONES !!!

[samsond1]

Great! Can''t wait to see Armen Keteyian on 60 Minutes!!!! He always tells a good story. Loved the Inside the NFL interview of Mandarich. Reminds me of the many great interviews/stories on the old Inside the NFL. At least with athletes they recognise some truth. Investigative Reporting with focus on the US government, no one recognises the truth.This is typical:The President has six heads!!!,but boy can he wear hats!!! Always appalled, the people say,"It''s an atrosity, it''s awful.....", but nothing is done. Interviewing people about their lives tells a better story. It''s more respectful of the process and the interviewer.
