Gadahn, the American al Qaeda, Charged
September 07, 2006 1:36 PM
ABC News has confirmed that Adam Gadahn, the American who converted to Islam and joined al Qaeda, has been charged in a sealed indictment with providing material support to terrorism.
Gadahn recently appeared with al Qaeda's No. 2 in command Ayman Zawahiri exhorting Americans to convert to Islam. Gadahn, in addition to helping al Qaeda with propaganda and communications, is also suspected of helping al Qaeda with English translations and understanding U.S. culture and vulnerabilities. Charges may be announced in the next week. Officials have also considered charging Gadahn with treason.
Officials believe that Gadahn is now a top ranking member of al Qaeda and that he is in Pakistan.

Oh, please! This fat loser is just hanging out with the only crowd that will have him. He is even too stupid to see that these al-Qaeda boneheads are simply interested in his U.S. passport and nothing else. As soon as they get what they want out of him, he'll be sent on some suicide mission that he will be ignorant enough to consider an honor. Good riddance, Moron!
P.S. Despite the fact that this guy is a native speaker, he apparently never took a speech or debate class. His arguments were absolutely terrible, when comprehendable.

Demented,delusional, self serving, pompous, just a few words that describe these people. They profess to be for a cause, but they are truely only for themselves and the glorification the attention brings them. I personally would not provide them with the attention; ignore them, publish a statement, but don't show their faces and don't feed their need to feel in power by attempting to incite more fear in us. Push them aside, they aren't worry of the attention. We are falling into their trap and abetting. Let's not allow it.

See......this is what happens when you are mean to the fat kids and nerds in high school.

One can find this type of person anywhere. A loser by nature, he is starved for attention and will do what it takes to get noticed. While some spend their lives doing good, people like this don't have the skills (social or other) to do much of anything good. They do what comes easy to them, and that is to go against the grain to be noticed. It would be sad if he wasn't being played so well by this group of madmen. I'm happy to hear he's to be charged with several serious federal crimes, but this may only serve to bolster his ego and give him some abstract credibility with the scum he's running with. I look forward to seeing his face when he's in US custody!

Pease do not alter or cancel ''The path to 911''. We are very interested in watching it.
Thank You MLacy

Past and future terrorists should be buried in a way to shame them eternally, like burying their ashes wrapped in pigskin. In fact, why not do that for the 9/11 terrorists? I know their bodies are a little "hard to find" especially at this late juncture, but just have someone *official* go to Ground Zero, pick up 19 handfuls of dirt, declare them to be the remains of the bombers, wrap them in pigskins, sealed permanently in clear hardened plastic, and thrown to the bottom of the ocean (no land burial, please). Document it all on a website. In fact, it amazes me why nobody *unofficial* has tried to do this yet. How about 911terroristburial.com? If I lived in New York myself, I'd do it. In fact, who cares if dirt is really from New York? Just fake it. Understand?!? In fact, just call the site terroristburials.com and open it to all terrorists. The site should also contain testimonials of the victims so that we (and the terrorists themselves) can learn something.

What a Jerk! This is what happens when you allow your kids to play video games all day, they create their own reality. I feel sorry for this guy's parents. Raising a loser, and then to have to watch him go to jail for being stupid. I'm sure his reality show will be out next year, called "al Qaeda's biggest Loser".

That charge had better be Treason.

There's no doubt he has become big in al-Qaeda because of his American roots. Let him rot in a prison cell for life, death is too good for this guy. In fact, he probably wants it if he gets captured.

Just another attempt of the Busheviks to install their customary "fear" program into the American psyche before the mid-term elections. This time around though they are going to learn that they've played that tune too many times. They'll realize it and "you can bet your bottom dollar" that they'll stage another terrorist attack between now and November. Only problem is that Democrat or Republican, they are just two sides of the same coin. You want change? Change from the fear tactics, the erosion of civil liberties in the name of security? Vote for anyone but the Democrats or the Republicans because they're both being paid off by lobbyists who, trust me, don't represent your interests. Now, let's see, which side will attack me first?

He's still in the I-hate-my-father, listen to heavy metal way too loud phase. He's a runaway, it's just that he ran too far. Kind of ironic that his name, Adam, is a name held sacred in the Christain religon...

I don't know of anything that is more despicable than a traitor. He obviously had to go to the land of morons to get accepted. It should be easy to catch him because you can tell he is as dumb as a stump. He likely feels good with all that cloth wrapped around his body and head because it makes him think he does not have to bath. Finding him should be easy as all you will have to do is take a deep breath and you will be able to smell the slime ball.

This IS the Enemy.
Gadahn is one of hundreds of thousands of "demented, delusional, self serving, pompus" religious lunatics that have the means and the will to maim and murder anyone they feel like, anywhere, anytime.
And they must all be killed or captured.

We need to look at ourselves before we judge others. Many of us in this country have these extremist views.
Posted by: Jack | Sep 7, 2006 9:39:40 PM
Until the United States starts playing the game the same way the terrorist do they cannot win. We need to catch them and shoot them instead of treating them like civilized beings. Play the game the way they do. No conscience. The United States is filled with do-gooders and they can't win this way. The terrorist do not need to be tried. They are guilty by their own actions.

I swear this is the guy I roomed(shared a house) with about 15 yrs ago when I lived in Hawaii. If it is, and I am almost positive it is, I am not surprised. He was an idiot, and errogant. About what I don't know. He use to claim he was part of the Rainbow Family. So it would only figure. The older he got the more of an idiot he became. But you still have to go back to the upbringing. Do you know where your kids are? I do.

Glorification through the media is the desire of all serial killers and mass murderers. No religion, I can think of, condones murder, beheading, torture, and etc. God himself could not have done a better job, had he taken the time, to put together a committee to search the earth and bring before us, in the news, the biggest assortment of looney tunes, nuts and downright ugly murdering serial killing idiots I've ever laid eyes on. Don't watch the news, watch looney tunes!
