Adam Gadahn captured (update: unclear)
Adam Gadahn, the treasonous Californian Al Qaeda leader who has long been on Washington's Most Wanted list, was nabbed in Pakistan Sunday - a huge victory.Yes, that should be his destiny. Let's just hope he's tried before a military tribunal, because vile characters like Gadahn don't belong in a civilian court where they could exploit the legalities they've canceled their rights to by joining the al Qaeda's death squads.
After some confusion in the intial reports, the Associated Press quoted Pakistani officials confirming the arrest.
Gadahn was bagged just hours after releasing a new internet video urging American Muslims to go on shooting sprees like Maj. Nidal Hasan's at Fort Hood last year.
He is the first American to be charged with treason since World War II.
If convicted, he faces the death penalty.
Update: according to this info on Hot Air, it's not clear if it's really Gadahn who was caught. So it's still under a question mark.
