Great news, if it is true, Adam Gadahn the American spokesman for al Qaeda has been arrested in Pakistan.
See CNN story
We have stupid right wing Republicans toss around the word "treason" about Democrats, liberals and anyone they do not agree with … But here with this guy we have a real true case of treason in time of war.
I do not believe in the death penalty but in this case I think hanging is what is called for and if they need someone to pull the rope I am willing.
In 2008, he renounced his U.S. citizenship and destroyed his passport but I still think he is an American citizen and I think treason would fit his crimes. And he should be tried in our normal justice court system.
Now something.. I wonder about with guys like this.. How many of these guys are in fact CIA agents?
If he is not a agent of the United States and is in fact a low life scum that would sell out his nation.. Then I want to see him get an American day in court with all the rights .. and then when found guilty I want to see him spend the rest of his life in jail or see him hanging from a rope.
"Adam Yahiye Gadahn (Arabic: آدم يحيى غدن, Ādam Yaḥyā Ghadan; born Adam Pearlman, September 1, 1978) is an American-born, senior operative, cultural interpreter, spokesman [2] and media advisor[3] for the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Since 2004, he appeared in a number of videos produced by Al-Qaeda as "Azzam the American" ('Azzām al-Amrīki, عزام الأمريكي, sometimes transcribed as Ezzam Al-Amerikee). He is believed to have inspired bin Laden's September 2007 video.[3]
In 2004, he was added to the FBI Seeking Information - War on Terrorism list.[4] On October 11, 2006 he was removed from that list, and placed on the Bureau of Diplomatic Security Rewards for Justice Program list of wanted criminals.[5] On the same day, Gadahn was indicted based on the testimony of the FBI case agent E.J. Hilbert II, in the Southern Division of the United States District Court for the Central District of California by a federal grand jury for the capital crime of treason for aiding an enemy of the United States (i.e. Al-Qaeda). Gadahn is the first American charged with treason since Tomoya Kawakita in 1952.[6]. On March 7, 2010, Pakistani intelligence officials announced that they had arrested a person name Adam Gadahn in the city of Karachi…" Wikipedia
