*UPDATE
Report of American al Qaeda spokesman’s arrest questioned
A senior Pakistani government official told CNN that Gadahn was arrested Sunday in Karachi, but a U.S. intelligence official said there appears to be no validity to reports of Gadahn’s arrest. Other U.S. officials also said they have no indication that Gadahn has been captured.

The reported arrest of Adam Gadahn, U.S. born al Qaeda spokesman, has not been confirmed by U.S. officials as yet.
Adam Gadahn, Al Qaeda agent from Southern California, is arrested in Pakistan
Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan – Security forces in the southern port city of Karachi have arrested Adam Gadahn, a Southern California native who became a top propagandist for Al Qaeda and is wanted by the U.S. on treason charges, Pakistani intelligence sources in Karachi said Sunday.
The capture of Gadahn becomes the starkest signal yet that Pakistan has decided to ratchet up its cooperation with the U.S. in hunting down Islamic militants. In the last two months, Pakistani security forces have seized several top Afghan Taliban commanders, including the insurgency’s second in command, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.
Gadahn, whose most recent video, posted Sunday, praised the U.S. Army major charged with killing 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, was arrested in a pickup truck with a driver Saturday night, the sources said. The sources requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on such issues.
Pakistani police and intelligence agents said they collaborated on the arrest after receiving information about Gadahn’s whereabouts, but the sources would not say what the source of the information was.
The CIA had no immediate comment on the reports from Pakistan.
Death penalty? Does Obama have the stones? I’d wager not.
Frankly, I agree that Obama doesn’t even walk on the grounds his stones would set.
But, more a concern to me is placing $1million on this guy. If ever there’s an interpretation of inflation he’s it. I might suggest a minimum wage rate (if he ever worked for it) and expenses.
Think about this guy? Or, I should ask, why is this guy worth a thought?
Nobody knows the name, Gaddoor Saidi. He’s the Trustee of the North American Islamic Trust. He sells the same message. But who’s on his case? He’s living fat and happy watching the goat-herder, Perl… I mean Gadahn on a US cable channel comfy and all in his US home.
A little consistency would do here.
Some parents raise their kids to be slime,scuzz buckets . They have twisted neurons. They have generations of disease to give their American kids.. That would be Adam’s parents in CA.
This is a child of a ex military man. I prefer this one. He has talent.
