ABC News: CIA changed the appearance of KSM when captured for propaganda value

<snip>

And just yesterday, an intelligence source told ABC News that the dapper man behind the most successful terror plot against America was not rumpled and disheveled when he was apprehended. He was as well-kept as ever.

But the CIA, conscious of the propaganda value of appearance, messed his hair and pulled his shirt from his pants, leaving us with the image of KSM we have today, and according to days of NSA intercepts, leaving his fellow al Qaeda terrorists chagrined over the changes to their esteemed colleague.

Former al Qaeda logistics chief Abu Zubaydah was captured by the CIA in March 2002 in Faisalabad, Pakistan.
