The FBI will catch up with Bulger about the same time they catch up with the anthrax mailer.
Today they're spinning Bulger as a victim of LSD experiments while he was in prison in the 50's.That's a chuckle because the prison LSD experiments were conducted not at Alcatraz, where The White Man seved his time, but at Concord State Prison in Massachusetts.

CIA Shrinks & LSD CounterPunch October 18, 1999
I don't see Alcatraz mentioned, do you?
Do you remember years ago when the Staties stopped Whitey at Logan and found him with $90,000 in cash? He just threw it at them and fled the airport and nothing was ever done.
"The FBI gave this story to the Boston Globe - their preferred media outlet since they swallow on command - yesterday. Today they're spinning Bulger as a victim of LSD experiments while he was in prison in the 50's."
It amazes me how they shine the media, even Fox.
I watched TV as they removed a bullet-riddled stump from a previous back yard of the beltway snipers in Washington State. "Retired Special Agent Chris Whitcomb" appeared, explaining how amazed we were gonna be when we found out about the brilliant detective work "the Agency" had done to solve these crimes.
They had pieced together forensic evidence from all over the country, used sophicticated tools, and connected the shooters to crimes in the South, bla-bla.
Barely mentioned in the news a few days later, the sniper's friend in Washington had just given them up for the reward!
I will say they probably deserve SOME credit for the fact we haven't had major mainland terrorist attacks lately. Now if they could just find Rudolph, (Eric).
Bulger was an informer for the FBI for years. Thus the FBI has no interest in catching Bulger. Sure, they will look like they are trying for public consumption. They may even throw out some false clues to help keep other law enforcement agencies off his trail.
The mobster, a longtime FBI informant, fled in 1995, just before his indictment on charges of racketeering, extortion and drug trafficking. Bulger has also been charged since with involvement in the murders of 21 people and is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.
Since the sighting, the FBI's multiagency violent fugitive task force in Boston and inspectors from New Scotland Yard have scoured London hotels, Internet cafes and gyms in search of Bulger, and have spent hours watching department store surveillance videos, Marcinkiewicz said.
The FBI weighed possible drawbacks to releasing information about the sighting -- such as tipping Bulger to leave England -- but in the end decided it was best to go public, Marcinkiewicz said.
"If you continually saturate the public with his photo, it's going to make someone recognize him," she said.
The businessman who alerted authorities said he had met Bulger while working out at a London hotel gym in 1994, a year before Bulger went on the lam.
The businessman, who was not identified, told The Boston Globe in Friday's editions that he spotted Bulger again on a London street in September, called his name and said, "Hi, mate, how are you doing?"
"He sort of looked quite shocked," the man said. Then Bulger walked away quickly, saying "No, no, you've got the wrong guy."
He described Bulger as wearing horn-rimmed glasses, a neatly pressed denim shirt and light-colored chinos. He said Bulger was white-haired and tanned and had a gray goatee.
The businessman said he only learned that Bulger was a fugitive a week later.
The sighting was the most reliable since January 2000, when a hairdresser reported seeing Bulger and his girlfriend, Catherine Greig, 51, in Fountain Valley, Calif., the FBI said.
"It just brings us closer," Marcinkiewicz said. "If you have more recent information, it gives you a better place to start."
Since the sighting, authorities have discovered two safe deposit boxes in London and Dublin, Ireland, that Bulger used. Nearly $60,000 and Bulger's Irish passport were seized, law enforcement officials said.
Bulger may have tapped Irish Republican Army contacts to get false ID, said William Chase, the acting special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston office. He would not elaborate.
"Most of his criminal association with the IRA and others probably gave him avenues to pursue false identifications, which we're sure he's availed himself of," said Chase, noting that they've investigated the IRA angle in years past but found no concrete link. William Bulger is listed as the contact person for a safe deposit box Whitey Bulger opened in London in 1992. Thomas R. Kiley, an attorney for William Bulger, refused to say if his client knew about the safe deposit box.
William Bulger, former longtime president of the Massachusetts state Senate, last month refused to tell a congressional committee whether he knows his whereabouts. At a committee hearing on FBI ties to mob informants, he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
His brother disappeared after former FBI Agent John J. Connolly Jr. told him he was about to be indicted. Connolly, who grew up in the same neighborhood as the Bulger brothers, was convicted last year.
