American Qaeda Operative Arrested in Pakistan
"..ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — An American Qaeda operative was arrested in the sprawling southern city of Karachi in recent days by Pakistani security officials, Pakistani officials said Sunday.
American and Pakistani officials said the man arrested was Abu Yahya Mujahdeen Al-Adam, who was described as having been born in Pennsylvania and who was thought to be affiliated with the operations division of Al Qaeda, commanding fighters in Afghanistan.
Little else was known about him, American officials said, and it was not immediately clear that American officials were involved in the arrest.
Initial reports seemed to have confused the American with Adam Gadahn, a California native who has been a spokesman for Al Qaeda and often appears on videos calling for strikes against targets in the United States. .."
So, they got a message from Eric Holder to treat Gadahn with kid gloves and read him his Constitutional rights.
Then (those smart Pakis) —they decide it’s not Adam Gadahn after all.
Whichever American it is, I’m with M Kehoe on this. If we aren’t interrogating him, intensely, it’s a shame he didn’t die in the field. And as American “citizens”, if they enter any judicial system, I hope they never see the sunlight again. There was a rationale behing public hangings.
