campaign. what do you think? >> you know, there's a lot of suspicion in boston that this was a setup job. you know, back in the 1950s and '60s when hoover was making the fbi the respected organization it used to be, oftentimes they would find a fugitive and basically have his house surrounded and put out a press release saying he was on the top 10 wanted list. and then 10 minutes later, they would arrest him. and then everybody would say, gee, what a great job the fbi is doing. this sort of has echoes of that old-time fbi operation, doesn't it? >> it does. how are listeners reacting to this? your listeners don't take the idea that whitey has been hiding for 16 years, rumored to be in europe, all over the world, and all sorts of strange places, and
