Well, I didn't do the picture, but it was posted on a thread I first started....hehe!

Big noses of the same person will look different on the same day depending on camera angle. Look at photos of Tom Cruise and his nose in different angles on the same movie set. He appears to have different noses depending on the side and camera angle. If one focuses on the nose, it will often appear to be different in photos taken on the same day of the same person. The chins in these pictures have too much beard to make a comparison.

What doesn't change is the fold/crease between the upper check and the nose.

Look at that crease/fold line between the upper cheek and nose on all of the photos of the top row. The crease/fold line appears to be same in the old pictures and the new pictures, from it starts from the nose, length of the crease and position on the face.

Last but not least is the hair style and grooming of the man 25 years ago is similiar to the man today. The older photos show a man who had his hair professionally done versus the normal scraggy look of young Jihadist in that area from 25 years ago to today. He is dressed in a nice sportcoat in many photos, and he wears a turtle neck which is coordinated. That was not very typical of the average university jihadist when our embassy people were held captive.

If the photos are not the same man over time, then the earlier photos are possibly photos of a cousin or brother. Remember how, so many of Saddam's cousins and brothers looked alike with similiar features. They came from the same city, Tikrit.

Do you think the guy in the 1979/1980 (not sure when it was taken) photo, has a cleft chin?

I can't tell from the pictures due to the beards. The areas of his face not covered are the folds/crease line where his cheeks begin. That is constant across the years in the various photos.

Below are pictures of cousins to the new ruler of Iran.

Please notice the continuity of resemblance in the photos below:

The Michael Moores of the world would claim that if true, Ahmadinejad is a freedom fighter on par with our Founding Fathers, while the Pat Buchanans and the Harry Brownes would augur that the hostages got what they deserved for meddling in the affairs of others.
