The Whitey Bulger arrest ... 'Captured'
The photo is from the updated FBI's Most Wanted poster. Pretty much sums up this morning's news. But the real story will start to come out in coming weeks and months.
Update -- About 20 firearms and 'hundreds of thousands' of dollars in cash found in Whitey's apartment.
Update II -- Re my post below about Whitey being a distinctly Boston story that's hard for outsiders to follow: Check out this Salon hit on Mike Barnicle. How did Barnicle get pulled into today's Whitey morass? Well, because it's Boston. We get it. But outsiders usually don't, Steve Kornacki notwithstanding. ... Salon via Adam's UH.
Update III -- Dan notes that the Salon piece was a little unfair to Barnicle, something Kornacki acknowledges. Dan explains.
