Using sophisticated digital enhancement techniques, the FBI today published “aged progressed” mug shots of Osama bin Laden and 17 other top terrorists wanted by the U.S.

One version of bin Laden shows him with a full head of wavy gray and black hair, and a trim beard. No previous photo had shown him without a headdress covering his hair.

The second “aged processed” mug shot of bin Laden shows him with the long flowing beard that has been his trademark, although much grayer than previously seen.

    I watched a documentary last night on the Taliban, and was reminded how close the US was to actually capturing him in Afghanistan. Of course, all effort went out the window once it became clear how important Iraq was to Bush. What an idiot.

  2. Greg Allen says:

    The guys I meet when traveling in that region usually looked WAY older than their chronological age. I’d meet someone I thought was 50 and he’d be in his early 30s.

    Osama is 53 but he might look 70.

    Actually this is a more recent picture.

    I was in Manhattan for the past 24 hours on business. Osama and his cab drove me to the Port Authority Bus Station. Really, what better place to hide?

    True story — no exaggerating.

    My family and I were vacationing in Muscat, Oman. We signed-up for a dolphin watching tour and the owner came to pick us up.

    He looked EXACTLY like Osama bin Laden.

    Not just the face and beard — he was dressed in the same outfit, hat, etc. He wasn’t just Arabish… he was a DEAD RINGER.

    Although intellectually I knew it wasn’t bin Laden, it was kind of hard to load my family into his car.

    But he was delightful! We had so much fun with him. I kick myself that it didn’t occur to me to get my picture grinning with him.

    It’s getting harder and harder for the ministry of truth to keep this guy alive (he’s been dead for years). Sooner or later they’ll have to admit he’s dead, though we’ll never really know how, or when, or see the body.

  9. Todd Peterson says:

    Why is Bin Laden not wanted by the FBI for 9/11? Strange…

  10. Dallas says:

    He looks a bit like Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel but cleaned up.

    Maybe the Republicans are onto something.

    Looks like the FBI broke into my house and used my 10-year-old copy of Photoshop Elements to do that. lollzzz
