No one has mehe number mentioned it, but Neri as Michael's number one guard and protector was indirectly responsible for the security lapse which allowed someone to open the drapes.
Ok. I may be off with the timeline as I don't recall exactly when the deleted scene with Neri and Klingman took place, but perhaps Michael sent Neri to see Klingman on the night of the hit attempt, right after the party. I could be wrong, but I don't remember seeing Neri around when the hit attempt took place. Only Rocco. Anyone recall?

I agree, DC. I think FFC intended us to believe that Rocco, not Neri, was in charge of security at the party. Rocco is seen constantly scanning the crowd. When the alarm sounds after the shooting stops, only Rocco is seen galumphing through the grounds. Rocco warns Michael, "Please Michael..." and Michael shouts, "Rocco---ALIVE!" about the possibility of finding the shooters..
I'm not so sure about Neri meeting with Klingman at the same time. Though it was a deleted scene, the time frame suggests that Neri may have called on Klingman as soon as Johnny Ola told Michael that Roth wouldn't object if he moved Klingman out. Michael was not one to wait. Then again, Neri was in the meeting with Johnny, and later he sat in on the meeting with Frankie. Unless Klingman's hotel was in Tahoe, not Vegas or Reno, I don't see how Neri could have gotten back and forth so quickly.
