Gadahn, the American al Qaeda, Charged

September 07, 2006 1:36 PM

Adamgadhan4_nrABC 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.

People like this that have turned against they're country and betrayed it to religious extremists on a power trip should be publicly tried and executed as an example to those who would take his place. The persons he was loyal to would do no less. Let them be made into examples of intolerance so that those who have twisted Islam into a means of war will know what awaits them if they are caught in or by the US. If they choose to disregard tolerance, they don't deserve any.

Please run your 9/11 documentary as intended. Politics seems to permiate so much of journalism, please show some integrity and just tell the truth. We all know that Clinton's shenanigans distracted he and others from the business of the country. If you bow to the pressure, they will never stop, and you will look like pawns.

Long live freedom of speech. Who cares what he believes or says? Accept or reject it, as you will. But opposing his right to speak and turning the USA into a police state is more destructive to our nation than anything this nut might say or think.

They should arrest his family as co-conspirators and execute them as well.

This guy should be hung by his dirty beard. They should give him a bath before putting him on camera! He should join Jenny Craig not Al Qaeda!

What a useful idiot. And isn't it amazing how this Islamofascist tool spews the same anti-Christian vitriol that many liberal atheists do in America?

Since 9/11 I've been fascinated with how the rhetoric of the radical left and that of radical Muslim fundamentalism are virtually indistinguishable when it comes to bashing Bush, hating America and trying to undermine western civilization.

This is a good start - we need charges filed against 10,000+ more similar people, namely those living in Dearborn, MI who pledge allegiance to Hezbollah, a known terrorist organization. People like Gadahn don't need to live freely in the US, it's unacceptable.

Man... let him loose here in fannin county georiga and we'll have ourselves a warm up hunt for deer season.

If he is found guilty of treason, and is eligible to die for it, then, since death is a welcome thing to him, maybe his execution, if done at all, should be done silently with no witnesses. That way nobody will know if he is dead or living in Guantanamo Bay. He can never be a martyr if nobody knows you're dead. Of course, a silent execution will be opposed by all liberals and the ACLU.

"Gadahn" looks and sounds like yet another US government "Al Qaeda" poseur straight from the CIA's own "Al Qaeda" Studios. The US government did the 9/11 attacks to create an excuse to invade the oil-rich Middle East.

I personally believe that freaks like this one are only glorified by the media. This devil incarnate IS NOT AN AMERICAN.....he is a nobody....a nothing.....and CERTAINLY DOES NOT DESERVE THE RIGHT OR THE PRIVELEGE TO BE CALLED AN AMERICAN.....

We all know guys like this, he was probably a nazi in the 9th grade, a goth in the 11th grade, a punk in college, and now a terrorist.
