The picture on the left is an artists imagination and not a real picture - Duh !

BUMP

Wow....

It looks like MMT kicked off a Magical Mischief Tour around the web (and they're now reported to be scrambling to find old OKC leads in the halls of the FBI too -- Yeah right! As if!) FBI agents are too busy researching their next leak to smear the CIA, and trying to limit damage from their Reno-bred incompetence rather than coming clean. You have to admire how good they are at screwing up, covering up, and otherwise ignoring the obvious.

Nice to see F#@*edWorld is linking to FR now, Junkyard Blog is then linking to F#@*World, and everyone and his brother is linking to Junkyard Blog So all is well. We don't need to determine definitively who had it first as long as FR is mentioned in the mix and seen as a source worthy of being mentioned.

Wasn't it Peggy Noonan who referred to a FR post she read on "a conservative political bulletin board website" without mentioning Free Republic by name?

I think bloggers are usually more than fair in giving credit when the find out someone else may have been first, but competition for blogeyeballs is a sport and some may see pulling an idea from an "obscure anonymous post on FR" as no harm no foul in order to make a name for their themselves and their personal blog. Just as mainstream news wires will often rewrite WorldNetDaily exclusives without credit just because they figure no one will care.

Again, in this case I think Junkyard Blog deserves all the credit he's getting too, and am happy FR was tossed a bone! Thanks to all bloggers and journalists who give credit where it's due, no matter the source.

Nice comparison posted on the other thread by hole_n_one...

The key feature I think is the unusual somewhat feminine elongated corners of the eyes on both. It's a bit much to say the eye angle has to match perfectly. And Junkyard Blog also highlighted what looks like a slight scar on the left cheek of both JD2 and JP.

And here's a surprise, F^%#World Blog is poking some fun at how"Jose Padilla's Oklahoma City Connection" is now a Glen Beck Program exclusive! posted June 13

Elohim City's Andreas Strassmeier: John Doe #2?

[Flyer]

Except for these and other minor differences, they could be identical twins!

Would someone please post a photo of John Doe #2 so we can end this nonsense.

[Plummz]

Call up your local FBI office and ask for stills from the surveillance camera tapes they seized from downtown OKC in 95. Maybe you can find a photo there.

[thatcher]

Gee, it's just too bad that the Feds killed McVey and can’t get any more information out of him.

Also, lighting makes a big difference in how someone looks, as well as the view point.

[monkeywrench]

I wonder if Padilla is getting grilled about OKC? We may never know.

[SpinyNorman]

The evening news stated that Terry McNichol's wife's maiden name is Padilla. Food for thought.

[Ranger]

Yes that is true though what happened is that her maiden name actually came form a prior husband which seems to make the trail a little more confusing.
