Here's a photo from CBS' archives. Besides, Photoshop was not invented back then.

I think this is it a bit clearer....

OMG!!!

I'm sure he has changed and he doesn't want to kill us anymore... right?!

[Mo1]

And what was it the Dems were yapping about when Condi called this a sham of an election??

[JENINMO]

Look how close together his eyes are........ I have a friend who has a theory about close set eyes, they're usually Liberals. Check it out sometime, it's pretty dead on.

[Zacs Mom]

hmmmmmmmt....

there is definitely a tell-tale halo there



I wonder if they deliberately stuck the skerry look alike face in the background too?

Check the photo carefully, the head looks Photoshopped.

The photo is legitimate. As to the ID of the individual in question, I don't know. But I would guess it is him.

[JENINMO]

Thanks for the better photo, I was just making my observation based upon the photo in the article.

I wonder if this punk knows how lucky he is to be alive. One less sandstorm or one more helicopter during Operation Eagle Claw and this guy would be a corpse. Don't count on being so lucky next time, pal.

Just another terrorist leading another Mddle East country.

Looks like their picture is blown up a bit, which takes it out of focus.

Here's another pic. Gee, wonder if this info will show up on the news nets that were celebrating Iran's alleged election?

I think this is it a bit clearer....

Thanks, that's much better.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Pretty screwed up if you ask me!

[mewzilla]

I wonder what the heck was in the brief case?

[Conspiracy Guy]

Had Carter not been in office the hostage situation wood have lasted all of a few hours.

[b4its2late]

The guy in the back scratching his head looks like Cosmo Kramer...... ;-)

[MudSlide]

WTF

The entire mideast and all the oil in it is not worth one drop of American blood.

Whose national interest are we protecting there.

We are not protecting our national interest here.

We are sending young men and women there to be used as target practice.

We need to start dropping some bombs and I mean big bombs are certain places there.

You're right. So does the head of one of the guys next to him. Either the photo has been doctored, or those two guys have angel halos around their heads.
