Remember that digitally altered picture of how Osama Bin Laden is supposed to look like today? Well, it seems that for some reason the FBI, rather than creating a picture based on real data about Osama Bin Laden, instead decided to use an existing picture of Spanish politician Gaspar Llamazares, from IU.

Let me be clear: It's not a coincidence. It's the exact same picture. It used to be in billboards around the whole country during our last elections.

The Spanish press has already noticed and they are having a field day making jokes at the FBI's expense:

As for me, I'm thinking about calling the FBI and claiming the reward they offer for Bin Laden.

Looks like the FBI has admitted they used a picture of Llamazares due to a "human mistake":

Apparently the process of ageing a human face now requires the use of Google Images and the author made several searchs for islamic-looking faces, found Llamazares' and liked it. Go figure.
