I'm betting neither Sonny NOR Michael would've eliminated Fredo based on a perception alone...he would have to have actually COMMITTED an act of betrayal.
Anyway...the way Sonny eliminated Fredo was to send him off to cushy Vegas; once he proved he wasn't even equipped to defend his own father in a shooting.
Nice try, plaw...but this is fiction not a pre-emptive war, and it isn't a real life fight against terrorism.
