"Whitey" Bulger Captured

Okay, so technically this isn't a "strategic manhunt," given that no military forces were involved whatsoever.  (There was a foreign component, however, as the last credible sighting of Bulger before this was in London in 2002).  But, still, it is pretty incredible, that after 14 years, the FBI finally caught notorious Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger.

The 81-year old gangster, who was the basis for Jack Nicholson's character in "The Departed," was arrested near Santa Monica, CA.  The article I've linked to is a bit cursory, but for anybody who has ever lived in Boston, I'm sure this will be a fascinating story as the details emerge.  (Bulger was a monster, but an eminently interesting monster).
