Exactly. He was gone for what? 12 years? Longer than Osama had disappeared for
anyway and the FBI knew what both of them looked like and delt with Bulger.
Before him there was the terrorist Carlos the Jackel, the Osama bin Laden of
the 1970s. The FBI had only one old photo to work from before they finally
caught up to him after decades of searching. If they were dealing with
criminals smart enough to keep their faces out of the public eye then it would
be a whole lot harder to detect and find out about them, never mind catching
them.
