I knew that Johnny Depp wasn’t a big fan of the US of A’s role in the War on Terror, but I didn’t know he was actually an al Qaeda leader.
Or at least, that was my first thought when I saw the picture of the key guy killed by Iraqi security services…

You have now sunk to my dad’s level of political discourse….I guess that’s what happens when you become a TV reporter.
Oh, and if you don’t think that picture looks like Depp, check this. Separated at birth, say I…
Smart man, your Dad…
And did you compare the pictures?
One of the things I do on the blog is share the kind of stuff that was once confined to the newsroom. The wirephoto would come across, you’d rip it (back when they were physical photos on paper) and pass it around saying, “Whoa, does this guy look like so-and-so or what?” Or you’d make up satirical cutlines on the spot, and everybody would laugh and then you’d move on to produce an oh-so-serious report for the readers expressing the proper emotion and attitude, the press being what Tom Wolfe termed The Victorian Gent, and no one would know about the irreverance or gallows humor.
On the blog, I share that — within limits. I want this to be a blog I don’t mind the kids reading, or my parents for that matter. Therefore the real locker-room stuff doesn’t quite make it into what I publish…
Yes, my dad is both smart and smart-alecky. I come by it naturally.
Sure, it does look like Depp, but with a certain Keanu-like vacuity in the eyes.
@ Kathryn,
If this guy is as good a terrorist as Keanu is an actor, we have nothing to fear.
What? Y’all don’t think Johnny Depp has a vacant look? Look at the picture I linked above. Same stare — or similar, anyway. Always looks sort of stoned to me.
@Bart–Hey, wait, he knows kung fuh….
@Brad–No, Depp is intense, man. He might have been high for that photo, though–dude dated Kate Moss, right?
