I wonder how much of this is true and how much is attempted misdirection. If Bin Laden had any sense, he'd already be in Peru.

In my more paranoid moments, I look at his picture and think: you know, for a religion that forbids pictures of people, I sure see a lot of mug shots of Bin Laden floating around. Is this really him? Does he really look like this now, or is this actually some other poor slob who's going to take a sniper bullet for his leader? Is the real Bin Laden some clean-shaven bald guy? Remember the gag from "Phantom Menace," where the queen and a handmaiden would trade places periodically?
