I saw a movie title, "Witless Protection." Anyone see it? Is it worth a watch??
Also, ran across a new book coming out by a guy who actually worked in witness protection. There is free part of a chapter online at http://www.potomacbooksinc.com/Books/BookD...roductID=205100
Looks like John Walsh (America's Most Wanted) wrote the forward. It's a bit newer than the book by Gerald Shur.

"My Blue Heaven" was mentioned in WITSEC as being good. The author said even though it's a comedy it's very accurate in portraying how these reformed gangsters just don't fit in in normal neighborhoods.

That's right. I love that movie, particularly when Steve Martin refuses to have a nice day and wears an iridescent suit while cutting the grass! LOL!!

Haven't read a WitSec book--just an article on line that another poster recommended. But my favorite WitSec movie is "Witness Protection" with Tom Sizemore (which I've gone on about so much before, that I wont go into it again).
Yes, I saw and loved "My Blue Heaven. Can't imagine how Marshall and Mary would handle a client such as Steve Martin's character "Vinnie".
