Well, that would certainly work; although that does seem to be somewhat inconsistent with Vlad's newfound sense of morality (since /Phoenix/). Being uber-boss of the Jhereg would require him to do pretty nasty things to people on a more or less continual basis. 

Besides, being leader of a Council in which the most common form of retirement is getting assassinated, I'm not certain I see how that makes him any safer. 

I guess maybe it wouldn't have to be Morganti that way.
