The FBI recently updated the picture in Osama's wanted poster - using cut and paste on a pic, taken from the net, of a Spanish politician. All that security funding that went in is clearly not enough.

Sort of makes you feel so much safer all this technology.

It is pretty shameful using features from a living person to make a composite. I thought there were computer programs for that sort of thing. Crap, there are computer programs to predict the end of the world by climate change. Maybe we should divert some of that money from the War on Drugs. Anyway, I would bet Osama is bald under that turbin.

..why?
Bin Launden owns share of the Carlyle group with the Bushes.

The CIA is not going to let the FBI do anything to diss the banks.

I was wondering about all the technology we see in movies, all these wonder gadgets that makes us think ooo, they can do that, wow etc, perhaps what we see in fiction we mistake for reality, a movie can take an idea and make it real for the purposes of that movie and that essentially is it.

But on the other hand, the intelligence and crime agencies have been guilty of cutting corners in the past, so why not create a cut and paste picture, maybe they are being nostalgic for the wanted posters of the past, but using photoshop instead of scissors and glue.

Now wouldnt that be simply fucking ace!? ('scuse my language)

Bush's house catches fire (which would be good in itself) and the fire service rescues everyone, and it turns out Osama was living there all the time as an exchange student or something?

That kind of reminds me of that story about the girl who is brought up to think no means yes and yes means no.

Is Osama in the house? No.

It's bin Ladin's family, not Osama.
