Adam Gadahn, the first person charged with treason by an American court in 50 years, has been captured in Pakistan.

"Gadahn was arrested in recent days, two officers who took part in the operation told The Associated Press. A senior government official also confirmed the arrest. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information."

IF YOU WERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO RELEASE THE INFORMATION WHY IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU CONFIRMING IT FOR THE PRESS YOU NINNIES!

Yes, I would like to see this “turd”, Barry Obammy, Rahm, and all the other communist co-conspirators (of both corrupt parties) tried for treason.

After their rights have been read to them of course. ;-)

Probably have his over for a beer summit, maybe put the guy in an advisory position. Or maybe just a Czar.

While what you say is true, someone has to post repeats like this or typo's, grammatical errors, etc for others to rant about, otherwise there would be no pressure release for some people.

Getting captured in Pakistan will not be very good news for Gadahn. Paki’s don’t have all the pc-crap to put up with when they ‘talk’ to detainees.

Gadahn may wish he were home with mommie after the Paki’s finish ‘talking’ to him.

“After their rights have been read to them of course. ;-) “

In this case, since he is an American citizen, he should be read his rights. Then he should be given a fair trial and after he is found guilty of treason should be shot by a firing squad.

This is a treason case, open & shut. It’ll be interesting to see what he’s charged with.

“American traitor Adam Gadahn captured in Pakistan”

Call me when that headline reads:

“American traitor Barry Soetoro captured in Washington”

(Although odds are, Otraitor’s NOT a natural-born citizen, and thus not a traitor, but a foreign usurper).

Yes, I would like to see this “turd”, Barry Obammy, Rahm, and all the other communist co-conspirators (of both corrupt parties) tried for treason.

But the hard part is getting at least two eye witnesses to testify against him as required by the Constitution.

Article 3.

Section 3
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Apparently, it wasn’t he who was arrested, or so CBS is reporting.
