Ping, in case you haven't seen this. (Sorry if you're already on the thread -- it's too long a thread to check it fully to see who's already here.)

I just did a fast search in Google. Lana Padilla is Terry Nichols' ex-wife. They were married in 1981 and were divorced in 1988. See this link.

When these comparisons went up yesterday, the similarities were sufficient to cause a layman like me to be suspicious. From the art people aboard, I gather that it is somewhat more than suspicious.

And, surely, the authorities are at least examining this possibility.

So, let's hypothesize. Say that Jose Padilla is John Doe II. Would it be in the government's interest to admit the fact? Would it serve any productive purpose? Will we ever find out, one way or the other...???

I can see where we might not.

Thanks for the ping, also for that snip of information about Nichol's ex-wife. Yes, it does make one wonder. Personally, I find that there is a strong resemblance between the two pics.
