Got to disagree with you about that J. Edgar Hoover -- he was a cross-dressing sicko who refused to admit the Mafia existed, and thus the FBI under his "leadership" never effectively cracked down on organized crime.

First of all, the cross-dressing bit was Soviet disinformation. If anything, Hoover was asexual.
Second of all, I suspect that the FBI made a deal with the Mafia during World War II for services rendered in Sicily and in surrounding areas- I know for sure the Allies made deals with the underworld in Marseilles.
