Thanks Fred. Obama has given us reason, but I think we become overly suspicious of every photo anymore. If we look through our own family albums we will see pictures that seem odd or distorted, but we know they are real.

The one that puzzles me most is the couch photo where Sadiqqi [sp?] has 10 fingers on one hand and it’s not Obama’s hand.

I know what you mean...but even if they were holding hands in that 'on the couch' image, what does it matter? He spent so much time in his youth in muslim countries where boys hold hands...and with muslim room-mates and friends.

I was hoping to take the question of 'who is wearing that jacket' by making some age-comparisons, but that doesn't work, now I have the Central Park face with a nose that doesn't fit...and frankly, he looks most like the boy who just graduated in 1979 in that image with Genevieve.

The Central Park fake is supposed to be 1982 iirc, and the caption on the black and white crop says 1980. He looks older in 1980 than in all of them.

What do you think?

FYI: Recall, I posted a number of times that a Hal Siddiqi was shown as an employee of a Seattle Theatre...he's not hard to find, Zaba Search has him listed in Seattle:

SOHALE SIDDIQI

However, the theatre webpage has been removed and replaced without his name.
