The FBI's folly and arrogance knows no end. The FBI's now discredited Aged Bin Laden Pic scandal is not over just yet. New allegations have surfaced stating the FBI used the photo of Spanish MP, Gaspar Llamazares, in another one of its ridiculous mock-ups. This time, Llamazares's photo was used to create a so-called age progression photo of Libyan terrorist, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman. The agency has admitted wrongdoing once again.

The FBI have also been shown to be complete liars once again. Two days ago, they claimed the FBI illustrator/computer tech's foul up regarding the Osama photo was a one time thing that deviated from agency policy. Only to find out today, it was done in another case, using Llamazares' image for the Atiyah Abd al-Rahman photo. 

Furthermore, the FBI released the photo of an allegedly aged Osama on January 14, 2010, touting it as rendered by "cutting edge" technology they've created, but that too was another bald-faced lie, as anyone could do the same with programs such as Photoshop, which have been in existence for years. For the FBI to go that far in a lie is very troubling. But the public doesn't know the half of what they lie to you about.

Double apologies for FBI technology gone awry

The digitally altered image of an older and greying Bin Laden (left in the photo) was meant to show how the world's most wanted terrorist might now look without his trademark turban and long beard.

But it created an unexpected stir in Madrid when Gaspar Llamazares, the former leader of Spain's United Left communist party and the caucus's current spokesperson in the parliament, recognised strong elements of himself in the image and complained to the US.

The FBI claimed to have used "cutting edge" technology to reproduce new images of 18 of the most wanted terrorist suspects for the State Department's Rewards for Justice website. It admitted, however, that a technician "was not satisfied" with the hair features offered by the FBI's software programme and instead used part of a photo of Mr Llamazares, found on the internet. "The technican had no idea whose image he had found and no dark motive for using it," he said.

The US State Department was forced to withdraw the mocked up photo-image, circulated around the world last week. Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Madrid conveyed to Gaspar Llamazares its formal apologies. But it was obliged to do so twice, since it was discovered that his features were used by the FBI for another mocked-up photofit image, this time portraying alleged Libyan terrorist Atiyah Abd al-Rahman...
