Remember that fellow that helped to blow up a few buildings and then went into either seclusion or retirement? Someone by the name of Osama bin Laden?
Since it’s been a while since he’s released a YouTube video, government agencies have no idea what the terrorist mastermind looks like anymore. At the end of their rope, the FBI hit on using Google Images to brainstorm Osama bin Laden’s facial features.
The Times of London is reporting that the FBI used a photo of leftist Spanish politician Gaspar Llamazares, who incidentally is a member of the Communist Party of Spain and a critic of the war.
The resemblance between the FBI representation of Osama bin Laden and Gaspar Llamazares is uncanny.
Osama bin Laden morphs into Gaspar Llamazares, or vice versa
Gaspar Llamazares Osama bin Laden FBI Morph
What it looks like is simply that the FBI took to morphing Osama bin Laden’s and Gaspar Llamazares’ photos, and then added some more beard.
What I’d like to know is why the FBI thought bin Laden would grow chubby cheeks in his old age. Most older people get slimmer. Bin Laden was skinny anyways due to his diabetes and other health problems.
Meanwhile Gaspar Llamazares isn’t standing still. Llamazares is offended the FBI used his visage. Obviously having his photo posted at airports around the world won’t exactly make air travel easy for him or for Spaniards who share facial features with him.
It would be nice to know if the FBI plans to continue on taking random images from Google Images or Flickr and making terror alerts out of them.

Just wanted to say thanks for that
I am really thankful to the author of this post for making this lovely and informative article live here for us. We really appreciate ur effort. Keep up the good work. . . .
Lol @ Gaspar Llamazares… The next time he tries to get on an airplane he’s going to get tackled and strip searched.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
It is a good blog, and i have taken it in my blog. Thanks for your sharing, i hope i can keep contact with online and talk with you for my further develoement. Many thanks again.
Thanks for your article. I have generally noticed that a lot of people are wanting to lose weight because they wish to look slim plus attractive. On the other hand, they do not constantly realize that there are more benefits for you to losing weight also. Doctors claim that obese people are afflicted by a variety of conditions that can be directly attributed to the excess weight. The great thing is that people who’re overweight along with suffering from numerous diseases are able to reduce the severity of the illnesses by losing weight. You possibly can see a steady but marked improvement in health while even a minor amount of weight-loss is attained gywl512.

I wish to show my appreciation to the writer just for bailing me out of such a scenario. After looking out through the search engines and seeing methods that were not pleasant, I was thinking my life was over. Living minus the approaches to the issues you have resolved through your site is a crucial case, and the kind that might have negatively affected my entire career if I had not discovered your blog post. That training and kindness in taking care of all the details was crucial. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a solution like this. I can also at this time look forward to my future. Thank you very much for the professional and sensible guide. I won’t be reluctant to recommend your blog post to anybody who should receive tips on this area.
