Question about the OKC bombing and the latest Al Qaeda guy caught at O’Hare.

Can someone post a side-by-side comparison of the “Arab” John Doe sketch from the OKC bombing and the sketch released today of the Al Qaeda guy nabbed at O’Hare, please.

It may be just me but at a glance they look similar.

The eyes, nose and full lips.....it has to be one and the same.

I bet they can trace his activitites at the time of OKC bomb if they want to. Even if the FBI skank from Minnesota cant do a search on her PC.

DAMN!!!!

SUMBODY DIAL NINE WUN WUN!!!!

Hmmm, more than interesting- down right scary. But you see- our media already had their template for OKC- it was "right wingers" influenced by Newt and Rush. Hey- evidence that Muslims may have been involved? Inconvenient- at best- and since it is ignored- not really true. Besides- million dollar contracts have to be saved and Beltway marriages, business relationships, and parasitical relationships have to be maintained.

According to Debka.com, Padilla spent time in prison during the 80s. Unable as yet to find precise dates of incarceration...

Fox said a handgun charge in FLA during 90 to 91 he did a year

I have a message from your government:

Do not believe your lying eyes. :-(

Here's what Jose Padillo was doing in the 90's according to AP.

---

In Florida, he was convicted in 1991 in Sunrise on charges of aggravated assault and discharging a firearm, court records show. Padilla, who identified himself as Catholic when he was booked on those charges, served one year of supervised release, until Aug. 4, 1993. A Justice official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Padilla converted to Islam after his 1993 release.

Police said Padilla - who has "Jose" tattooed on his right arm - brandished a .38 revolver at another driver during a traffic encounter. When the other driver followed him to a gas station, Padilla fired one shot from his vehicle at the other car. No one was hurt. Police traced his license tag and arrested Padilla at home, where they found him with the handgun in his waistband.

While in the Broward County jail, Padilla was accused of battery on a jail officer and resisting without violence in January 1992. He pleaded guilty and spent 10 months behind bars.

Court records also show Padilla with speeding convictions in 1993 and 1997, and his driver's license was suspended in 1996. Padilla also completed a traffic law substance-abuse course in 1992, but it was unclear whether that stemmed from an arrest.

QUICK Somebody PING the WHITE HOUSE!!!

Hey FBIDOJCIANSA et al… Can I have my reward now?

[livius]

Very, very good catch. The only major difference is the chin.

But didn't one of the people who had actually seen JD2 mention having heard him say a few words, and that he had a foreign - but not Hispanic - accent? (I may be wrong on this.) Not that this rules him out, in any case. To a person from OK, the accent of a Puerto Rican New Yorker would sound very foreign. It would also not sound very Hispanic, because to folks in OK, Hispanic probably means Mexican. But there's a big difference between the accent of somebody from Guadalajara and that of somebody who grew up in a Spanish-speaking household in East Harlem or the Bronx.

[donozark]

OK. I found where he did time '85-88'. Then again in 1992 for assault on police officer. Got 10 months. So looks like he is "eligible" for involvement in OKC.

[WellsFargo94]

Love it, still laughing!!!!

A Spanish speaking New Yorker would sound a bit different than someone who grew up south of the border.

[Texasforever]

At the very least you should put this thread in a safe place. You may just cop some big reward bucks. The resemblance is uncanny.

[donozark]

Hey, don't laugh-it was a good find. I have forwarded it up the line. Wish I was a better artist, would like to take composite photo and remove hair and place next to Padillas...Maybe a job for AMW?

[SheLion]

Very, very strange.

Same lips, same nose.......pretty identical I think!

[mdittmar]

Guess your right,the collars of the shirts don't match.:)
