The Brothers Bulger...
« on: November 28, 2006, 03:09:25 AM »
By Howie Carr. Good read. One obsrvation I feel like making is that I find it interesting that the same FBI that aided and abetted them for over 20 years NOW has Jim "Whitey" Bulger as #2 on their 10 Most Wanted List, right behind Osama Bin Laden. Neither of whom they have caught.

I used to work in and around Boston in my younger days so it all rings pretty close to home for me. I recognize a lot of the locations mentioned in the book and it just makes me go WOW, I didn't know all THAT!! Apparently Irish gangsters can be every bit as brutal as Italian ones.

The job requirements are pretty much the same.
