The Outraged Liberal reads today's Globe article on Bechtel's apparent non-concern about I-90 connector bolts and concludes: Looks like Mitt Romney got the wrong scalp:

Real or faked? John Daley ponders the possibly alleged ceiling memo, including Howie Carr's Globe bashing, says it's all great fun but adds:
... But there's also the public interest, apparently lost in all the posturing and foaming at the mouth. Maybe the memo is real. Maybe not. It's an important question for how blame and liability will be assigned. Nothing happening in either newspaper now is contributing to getting the answer. ...
Aaron Margolis spends some time with a state database and finds some fun financial threads connecting Bechtel with various state legislators and others who theoretically might have something to say about any possible wrongdoing at Bechtel's Big Dig.
