Don't know if this is playing in other parts of the country but the FBI managed to apprehend Whitey Bulger after 15 or so years as a fugative. Whitey is a notorious Boston criminal who worked under the sanction of the FBI, killing and committing all sorts of crimes with the blessing of law enforcement for whom he was snitching on his rivals. It's another one of those cases that makes us a bit more cynical about the USA and those who are charged with protecting the rest of us.
The FBI is acting upset that people would dare to suggest that it has been looking the other way while Whitey has been hiding in plain sight. Gee why would anyone think that? The FBI seemed to have no interest in apprehending some of Whiteys hired thugs such as John Montarano and refused to help when local officials wanted to capture John in Florida(but took the credit afterwards).
In any event...if you want to read a fascinating account of Whitey, read the book Black Mass. It is a chilling account of some of Whitey's work and tells how the FBI looked the other way while peolple were being killed and having their lives ruined. And for those who might say...he just killed other low lives, read the book. He even killed women when he had no futher use for them.

Saw it on CNN and Fox for a couple days. Don't know any of the backstory though.
