re: Godfather 2 plot hole. Who left the drapes open in Michaels bedroom

quote:

He didn't "pull it off." He had a very specific role. I haven't argued that he did anything other than help the shooters gain access to the compoudn

You argued a 2nd set of killers existed and escaped after the attempt.Ill still argue it would have been virtually impossible.

Whoever killed them had to be on the inside and Michael discusses it with Tom afterword

TOM

If we catch these guys do you think we'll be able to find out who's backing them?

MICHAEL

That's not the catch -- unless I'm very wrong, they're dead already. They're killed by somebody close to us -- inside. Very, very scared they botched it.

TOM

What about your people ROCCO and NERI? You don't think that they had something to do with this.

MICHAEL

You see -- all our people are business men, their loyalty is based on that. Now, one thing that I learned from Pop was to try to think as people around you think. Now on that basis, anything's possible.

So Michael certainly suspects an inside man. Given that we later find out Fredo betrayed Michael, that most likely scenario does seem to be that Fredo himself killed the assassins.

To reiterate however, all of this is just speculation, as it is never confirmed in either the films or books.
