American al Qaeda Spokesman Arrested and Charged with Treason – Update
Karachi, Pakistan (Mar 7) – Apparently the individual reported in this article has been identified as an Eqyptian- born U.S. citizen who uses the same Arabic name and not the Adam Gadahn, sought by the FBI.
The following information regarding the American al Qaeda “agent” is correct:
Adam Gadahn, California is wanted by the FBI and Pakistani Security Forces. Gadahn will be the first American charged with treason since World War II. To date it is apparent that the suspect is still at large.
Gadahn, has been featured in several videos since 2007 making statements during the Bush administration, that reflected direct threats to the security of the United States. Statements such as, “Your failure to meet demand means that you and your people will experience things which will make you to forget about the horrors of 9-11″ have been recorded and broadcast across the internet.
Gadhan born into a Jewish-Christian family converted to Islam when he was 17, and moved away to Pakistan a few years later. Gadhan, also known as, Adam Pearlman, grew up on a goat ranch outside Los Angeles.
Active with the al Qaeda terrorist group since ealry 2004, has been wanted by the FBI since 2006 on charges of treason. Treason in the United States still carries the death penalty.

While I am no fan of Gadhan nor anyone whom advocates violence, I have to take the long view of the whole situation. I do not defend nor condone his actions but am concerned that he get fair treatment under the law. Gadhan has not met the classic definition of treason as he has not, on the surface, sold any kind of secrets nor given away any classified information. If it can be proved that he took a significant step towards an planning other than spewing firebrand, by all means, he should be punished.
I believe he simply spoke out against the US as was/is his right to do so. He is a rather despicable person, but just because we disagree with someone or dislike them does not make them criminal. I would have to hear more but my guess is that prosecutors will not win a treason conviction but maybe something less. Before coming to any definitive conclusions, we have to see what the evidence and accusations are.
