I'm not convinced that the pictures being floated now are UBL, though. If you look closely and compare to known photo's, the brow line is different, the nose is different and the breadth at the shoulder line isn't the same. It's a pretty close match, but I don't think it's UBL.

that was my first impression -= I am a portrait artist, so those small distinctions stand out to my eye.

I wonder at the rush to 'verify' that it's his voice. I'd like to see a more in depth analysis of that.

In light of the fact that the last 'tape' of OBL was shown to be an old one - I am dubious. Why would they needed to put out an old tape, trying to pass it off as current, if the rat were still using air?

How in the world can the CIA state for sure that the latest video was recorded in August? I’ve often thought that OBL made a bunch of videos and recordings for his asswipe followings to release at certain times. I feel he’s dead and has been for a few years. Anyone else think that?

Because they need converts.

I noticed the differences but they looked more like the results of aging, or maybe being ill for an extended period etc.
I've seen people become almost unrecognizable after a few years, especially if they were ill.

What really stands out to me is how his right eye is drooping and less symetrical to the other eye, especially compared with older photos.

He looks like somebody punched him in the face a few times.
