I was perusing the articles on Wired.com and I saw this picture, and the lightbulb above my head, which generally flickers like a poorly maintained fixture in a Soviet gulag blazed to life. I don't know why they used a drawing instead of a photo in the article, but the resemblance is startling.

This is a picture of Bradley Manning, the wikileaks scapegoat.



This is Alfred E. Newman, the mad Magazine mascot.

He isn't a scapegoat so much as the guy who actually stole all the documents.

Your pic of Alfred E. Newman "do not link", but since I know what he looks like anyway, there is certainly a similarity between the artists rendering of Manning and Mad's mascot.
