I think they did!
Here's the FBI alert on this guy:

As I recall, they think this guy was in previous videos with his head covered by a ski mask. But he made one recently uncovered. They are using him because he's American born, has no arab accent and I have no doubt he's an avowed Jihadist. You have to wonder how many guys they have like this that have been over to Pakistan or wherever, been trained in Al Queda camps and are now quietly working at a Dominoes Pizza place waiting for the call to activate the local cell. Pretty scary stuff!
It's interesting, in those two photos . . . he goes from being a smug, defiant, cheeky, indulged twerp
to a . . .
somewhat scared rabbit, robot, stoolie, useless idiot for one of the most evil forces on our planet. And he's not the least bit happier--from his photos. He's just dumber.
