YES!, no? maybe?
KARACHI, Pakistan — Pakistani intelligence officers say they have arrested Adam Gadahn, the American-born spokesman for al-Qaida.
Gadahn has been wanted by the FBI since 2004 and two years later was charged with treason.
Hattip to RIX!

Tall tree and short rope.
A U.S. court charged Gadahn with treason in 2006, making him the first American to face such a charge in more than 50 years. He could face the death penalty if convicted.

GOT THE BASTAGE!!! Now for a quick drumhead trial and the noose.
Now they’re reporting it was Abu Yahya Azam, NOT Adam Gadhan who was arrested in Pakistan.
Bureau Report
KARACHI—Security agencies on Sunday arrested a close aide of Osama Bin Laden, Abu Yahya Azam. According to sources, the security agencies arrested Abu Yahaya Azam, a close aide and key Al-Qaeda commander during a raid in an area between Sohrab Goth and Noori Abad. Immediately after the arrest, he was shifted to Islamabad for further interrogation, sources added.
Two terrorists, including a key al-Qaeda commander, were arrested from Karachi, sources told Sunday. According to sources, security agencies raided a house located at Super Highway in Karachi, in which two people, including a commander linked with the al-Qaeda network, were arrested.
The arrested men include Commander Abu Yahya Azam, a close accomplice of Usama bin Laden. They were later shifted to some undisclosed location for further interrogation. Security forces during massive search operation in different areas of Hangu have arrested 21 suspected and have recovered arms and ammunition from their custody.
Sources said that security forces continued search operation and crackdown against the Taliban extremists in different localities of the district in the backdrop of Friday suicide attack. During search operation and crackdowns in different localities across the district, security forces besides detaining 21 suspects also recovered weapons and ammunition from their custody
I have that sinking feeling that this SOB will not get what he deserves. If the Obama administration Justice Department’s first impulse is to give KSM a “civil” trial, what hope can we have that “real justice” will be done in this case?
Are you sure it was Adam Gadahn? Fox news says its Abu Yahya Azam. See http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,588322,00.html

Abu Yahya Azam is even better, he’s a close accomplice of Usama bin Laden and one of the top taliban commanders.

I, for one, am pleased Obama has kept many of the same policies as George Bush. If their application results in the capture of Gadan, great. Really, if the libs had all the facts about how many of Bushes policies re the war on terror the Obama Admin. has kept, THEIR heads would explode.
The notion that “catching bin Laden” will end the problems with the Islamic world is a complete delusion.
Yes, it would be nice if bin Laden were captured. But an Administration that seems hell-bent on treating Khalid Sheikh Mohammed with kid gloves—if not actually ensuring that he will walk by needlessly placing him in a civilian court and then prejudicing the proceedings by shooting its mouth off about how the result is preordained—can hardly be trusted to know what to do with bin Laden if captured.
And even if bin Laden were summarily executed, the jihad would continue.
That wouldn’t be fun for them. It is all Bush bashing, all of the time.
They are making Obama out to be a war hero. Oh hell he got a Nobel for doing nothing, might as well give him a medal now.

@ buzzsawmonkey:
Yes.
@ 83 RIX: And Bush stated he was after the defeat of Al Quaida and not primarily the capture or killing of Bin Laden. If either occurred in the effort to castrate al qaida then all was good.
It was the leftist progressives that railed about the need to have a primary political goal of capturing Bin Laden.It was a tool they could use to be anti American in the war an terror. Try to convince the American populace that the war on terror was wrong. Even Senator Patty Murray in her foreign policy wisdom declared Bin Laden was doing good public works.
GWB was serious on winning the war. The leftist were serious on defeating GWB. Bin Ladin was just a convenient tool for them.

Um, Charles, Obama isn’t running around Waziristan in his jockstrap trying to capture Osama. If Osama is alive (I’m very doubtful) and if he is captured, the people doing the capturing will most likely be American Military Personnel. What will be interesting to see is ho Barack abu Mohammed bin Obama will deal with both Gadahn and, in the case you discuss, Osama bin Laden. Will they be Mirandized and given the best lawyers Government money can buy? Face a military tribunal? Be released and told to “Fly free, little bird, fly free!”? Which one of these? That will be what will be interesting.
If it will make Chawuz happy, I’m on the record as saying good job… somebody. If it’s something the Obama administration has done to facilitate the capture of Gadahn, then congratulations. If they get Bin Laden, congratulations will again be in order. Conservatives, unlike leftists such as Johnson, do not openly root for the defeat of their country on the battlefield.

My head is not exploding because Obama is prosecuting the war the way the Right wants him to. Who got the extra troops for Af-stan? Who got the drone bases in Pakistan? I think the Right knows what techniques lead to success in war. I wouldn’t count on many heads exploding just because Obama played by the war game rules already set up and had success. We all want success.

Actually, to fact-check Charles, it wasn’t teh Won running around Waziristan in his jockstrap that captured Gadahn, or even our fine troops. It was Pakistani intelligence:

If bin Laden is alive, I want our troops to capture him. That would be a mostly symbolic victory, but still a satisfying one.
