FBI photoshop FAIL?

You have probably seen that picture above ahaha.

"The FBI this week released a “digitally-altered” image showing what Osama Bin Laden possibly looks like now he’s older.

While the FBI claims to have used “cutting edge” technology to create the image, a Spanish politician has noticed that the poster is a modified version of his campaign photo — he now finds his face in America’s most wanted list.

While on the surface it’s an amusing misstep by intelligence agencies, Gaspar Llamazares, the former leader of Spain’s United Left coalition, calls the move “shameless”. His safety is at risk, he told the BBC, and he no longer feels able to travel to America now his likeness is on a wanted poster: “Bin Laden’s safety is not threatened by this but mine certainly is”, Llamazares said."

I saw this the other day on the news crazy stuff. I do find it hilarious that there are people that claim Bin laden isn't even a real person and here the FBI get caught cutting and pasting other peoples photo's together to create a new version of Bin laden.

wow.....when did photoshop and a google search equal "cutting edge" technology. Makes you think about their other high-tech operations. I wonder if anybody else could do better using photoshop. its kind of amusing but scary....

They can show you how to make a high tech bomb out of a roll of toilet paper, and a stick of dynamite!

Umm I really don't get how you can think they look similar. it does not look similar at all to me. you guys that posted above might wanna get your eyes checked, or take a closer look.

wow....

that is really bad, they must think that the flouride is starting to get to everyone effectively enough to try and pull that off....

and I guess this will be just pushed under the rug and dimissed in later years....

Good ol America
