SKOALSKIN Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I don't understand what the big deal is with this picture. The FBI has a database filled with thousands of pics. They selected one that was a potential match. It's not a mistake. There shouldn't be an uproar. The guy has a terrorists forehead, he should accept it. He should be proud that his forehead is helping the world aprehend a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahh, he got the right thread for his hyper-sensitive over inflated knee jerk reaction that anything in the government has to be, must be undeniably Obama's fault.

Bang Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I don't see the problem. Here's the composite photo in which they used that guy's face as a base Here's the lawyer's photo that I guess was used as the base One, they don't resemble one another after the photoshopping was done, except for the hair. Two, shut the hell up anyway. No one is going to mistake him for Bin Laden unles he puts on a ton of stage makeup. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 So, the FBI wanted to put out a new more updated pic of Bin laden, instead of digital enhancement or w/e...they pick a random spanish guy, and, of all things, use his campaign photo! craziness.. from the AP You couldn't have gotten this much more wrong if you tried. Fact: they didn't do anything unusual other than the mistake of using that particular image because he was a public figure. They did not use the entire photo. Here's how it works. Sketch artists use and blend reference photos for realism. In this case they used this guys hair. Unfortunately it was almost as recognizable as Leno's chin and when the two images are side by side, suggests a resemblance even though the facial features are different. Embarrassing yes, but it's hardly as if they grabbed the guys photo and used it as bin Laden. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't make thuis about the dems or Obama at all, so direct your offense somewhere else. A) I cant stand any party. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians... all idiots as far as I'm concerned. So I really don't care about anything other than the truth. B)You suggested that they didn't do anything other than use the guys photo. That's not correct. You suggested that they did some kind of shortcut. But the reality is they used the same techniques they always do, which is an artist blending reference photos to create the image. So to correct you, yes it was a big mistake to use a public figure's recognizable features in that blend. But it was hardly a matter of just using his photo and saying "that's bin Laden". :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Look back up at the two pictures, Could you possibly mistake one for the other?~Bang Yes. The "new" one looks like the guy after a heavy night of drinking. Having said that I seriously doubt that he is the only one that looks like that picture being that lots of people look alike. If Obama really wanted to hide he'd put on a $4000 business suit, shave, and get a professional hair cut. He could hide in plain site all over the world.
