ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING?

Padilla is 31 now, which means he'd have been 26 at the time of the OK City Bombing...

UPDATE: Jonah Goldberg wonders whether the two pics here are legit. They are--the one on the left is from a conspiracy-theory site The John Doe Times, which claims to have identified John Doe #2 as Michael Brescia of Philadelphia. The one on the right is from a story linked on Yahoo this morning. I downloaded them, scaled them to roughly equal size (the sketch is much smaller than the photo) and added the text.

UPDATE #2: More spooky connections between OK City and al Qaida, courtesy James Robbins.

AND IT GETS THICKER: thanks to a reader tip I looked at CNN's story about the "dirty bomber." Their pic looks even more like the sketch than mine, and the story includes this interesting quote from Secretary of War Don Rumsfeld:

"Our interest is not in trying him and punishing him," Rumsfeld said of suspected al Qaeda operative Jose Padilla. "Our interest is in finding out what he knows."

Indeed.
