I disagree, the two pbotos are consistent, especially considering how he had lost weight while in Africa and that he had been kidnapped for up to a month, where he could have been starved, tortured, suffered dissentary, etc. The poster I pinged was of the opinion that it wasn't him.
Think about it, if US intelligence could determine that one of the hooded guys was Al Zaq, they probably can tell if that was Nick or not. Unless you are buying into that Bush ordered Nick killed because he was a double agent about to spill the beans on OKC being a Clinton-CIA-Bush-Bildeburger plot...
Bush would never do that .. and why would Bush care if Nick did know anything about OKC ..?? That's kind of wild to me.
It's probably him .. it was just curious to me how the photo of what he looked like when he left home and what he looked like in the video .. they just didn't look like the same person to me.
