goombah, I do recall Micheal responding to Tom that it is possible that anyone can be a traitor because all his people are businessmen. Having said that, not only was Michael suspicious of Fredo, he as suspicious of everyone, including Tom, Al, and Rocco. [/b]
Good point, Deathkiss. I think Tessio says something to that effect in the novel. I agree - Michael trusted himself and did not completely trust anyone. Even when Michael told Tom, "That's why at this moment you're the only one I can completely trust," Michael still had some doubts. But I think Michael knew that Tom was probably loyal to a fault.
