one of the pictures is much more brightly exposed than the other, it’s throwing me off.
photos are surprisingly inconclusive for determining identity... did anybody notice the flap way back in the first few days of the iraq war when they were having that allegedly staged celebration -- when the statue of hussein was brought down, that whole flap? well, someone found a photo where there was someone who looked a lot like ahmed chalabi, i think it was. then there was this big back and forth where some people found pictures of chalabi that looked like the dude in the photo, and then others countered by finding pictures of chalabi that didn’t. and was chalabi there? still dont know. i think there’s a pretty good argument that the celebration was staged, though -- it’s just that the photo give and take didn’t help make the argument.
similar thing with that one bin laden video -- some folks found a frame where it really doesn’t look like bin laden and circulated it around...
