Totally excellent front-page piece in Sunday’s Boston Globe on Whitey Bulger’s life in exile.
Two immediate results:
1) Forget that thing about the Icelandic dime-dropper being an FBI fabrication:
The Icelandic beauty [Anna Bjornsdottir], who gained minor fame decades ago starring in Vidal Sassoon and Noxzema commercials, was home in Reykjavik, Iceland, when she saw a CNN report on the FBI’s latest effort to track the 82-year-old Bulger and his 60-year-old girlfriend, Catherine Greig. Bjornsdottir recognized them immediately as the Gaskos, her former neighbors . . . an ocean away on Third Street [in Santa Monica].
With a phone call to the FBI, Bjornsdottir ended one of the longest and most expansive manhunts in FBI history and brought Bulger home to face charges that he had killed 19 people, some of whose bodies were unearthed while the gangster was posing as a retiree in Southern California.
2) Look for a new Whitey e-book to join the trio of QwikLit qwikies the Globe has already produced.

You missed the actual, immediate results to come out of this Miss Iceland Nabs Mr. South Boston story:
Jon Keller of WBZ has not yet recanted his unfounded skepticism of the FBI’s Icelandic source.
Nor has Harvey Silvergate, for that matter.
Nor has Globe columnist Kevin Cullen, who should at least have been operating under the standards and practices of journalism by his editors. Damn good reporting by the Globe, finding the FBI’s source. Strange that Cullen wasn’t listed with a byline, no? Or was he so skeptical that they wouldn’t let him in on the truth?
Nor has Boston Herald contributor Michele McPhee.
Nor the Boston Herald’s [editorial staff?] itself.
Were you also one of the Iceland Truthers? Care to visit an Iceland Anonymous meeting?
I definitely had my doubts, Mike, so just tell me where the meeting convenes.
