My Lord. Those pics are the same man!!!! Or twins. Wonder where he was for OKC,,wonder if he had been let out of jail. This is amazing.

If you read the thread, you will see that he was indeed out of jail and that he had already converted to Islam, having been provided with visits by a Muslim cleric while in prison in Florida. He was probably recruited at that time, also. I mean this guy had so much pent up anger that he was a perfect candidate for a terrorist recruit.

Besides the fact that both the John Doe #2 and the young Padilla were both described as wearing a baseball cap (admittedly not a very telling trait), the John Doe was described as having some kind of foreign accent, but non-Hispanic, and Padilla described himself as non-Hispainc, Black in his Florida court case, even though his parents lived for a while in Puerto Rico.
