FBI Uses Pix Of Spanish PM To Update Bin Laden Photo


A Spanish politician has said he was shocked to find out the FBI had used his photo for a digitally-altered image showing how Osama Bin Laden might look. The FBI was forced to admit that a forensic artist had indeed copied facial features from an actual person-- but would only go so far to say that the artist had obtained them "from a photograph he found on the internet."

Gaspar Llamazares said he would no longer feel safe travelling to the U.S. after his hair and parts of his face appeared on a most-wanted poster. He said the use of a real person for the mocked-up image was "shameless."
