The FBI Sucks at Photoshop

There appears to be no end of the USA's inability to get security right. This incident would be funny, if it wasn't so lame.

The FBI decided to produce one of those age-progression photos of Osama bin Laden since he's aged over the years he's been hiding out in the mountains. Unfortunately, the FBI seems to have used Photoshop Lite (and perhaps a trainee photo analyst?) and essentially used Google to find a photo on the Internet; a photo from a Spanish politician's campaign poster. So this Spanish guy, Gaspar Llamazares, now finds himself on an FBI wanted poster and doesn't find it particularly humorous.
“Bin Laden’s safety is not threatened by this but mine certainly is”, Llamazares said.
