Yes but it was a freeper that made this connection first.
To: Ranger
I think it's a possibility that needs serious exploration.

Wow, both had two eyes a nose and mouth! Unfortunately, one is plainly caucasian, the other hispanic. The noses and chins are completely different. One appears far more stocky than the other. Except for these and other minor differences, they could be identical twins!

Yup. The chins couldn't possibly be more different; and I mean, that really jumps out at you, you don't have to stare at them to notice massive differences.
What's really driving it is that the picture of Padilla is fairly colorless in the style of the police sketch.

I was working for one of the alphabet networks in their news division the morning this story broke, and was immersed in it for several weeks.
If you think the sketch is inaccurate, go back and look at some of the sketches of the Unabomber and at contemporary photos of Ted Kacynski (sp?).
John Doe #2 was originally identified as a possible Hispanic, then perhaps of Arabic or Middle Eastern descent, then the story faded.
Of particular note is that the government, the Clinton Administration went to great lengths to disassociate the events in OKC from the Arab world.
Pick up a copy of "American Jihad", and read how one of the most hostile Radical Islam cells in the country was meeting in OKC before- and after- the OKC bombing...

Sorry. but the eyes are also much different. Look on the outside eyelids. They point up in the picture and down on the drawing. Not the same guy.
Obviously this does not mean it was not the same guy. The drawing does not match and that would have to be overcome. We all look somewhat alike.
To: Texasforever
Thanks for the PING, it's intresting to see that others are now picking up on this. I heard that it was even mentioned on Fox and Friends.
To: ImphClinton
Good Lord. It's a sketch. It isn't a photograph.
To: Ranger
Except that at the time of the OKC bombing, Jose Padilla was 10 years younger than he was in the photo above.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Most Hispanics (including Padilla) ARE caucasian.

JunkyardBlog is doing some great writing and follow-up research on this but FWIW it does look like Free Republic beat the bloggers by about 12 hours in noticing and posting the photo similarity.
Of course we all know bloggers and journalists don't scope out FR for story links and ideas ;) It would be nice if credit was given when they do -- just like when an individual blog is given credit for an original idea. In this case most likely it was just great minds thinking alike.
I think any general tendency to pull ideas from FR without mentioning the source is due to a FR post being seen by non-members as an anonymous source of information that won't notice if someone takes an idea without credit.

Well, I should amend that to say that most non-poor Hispanics are caucasian.

Well I told MMT to keep his thread in a safe place. LOL I don't know if there is anything to this but damn the resemblance is undeniable and that is coming from a very anti-tinfoil member.
