Adam Yahiye Gadahn who grew up in Orange County, CA and converted to Islam in 1995 studying at the Islamic Society of Orange County, before moving to Pakistan in 1998 and joining Al Qaeda, is the first American to have been indicted for Treason since the Second World War---the last person convicted of Treason was Tomoya Kawakita, a Japanese-American and sentenced to death in 1952 for tormenting American prisoners during the Second World War; President Eisenhower commuted the sentence to Life in prison.
Gadahn, Al Qaeda spokesman, said in a video posted on line by "As-Sahab" the Terrorist group media arm just before President Bush travels to Israel and told his followers to welcome Bush "...with bombs and traps...the occupied Territories are awaiting their first visit by the crusader Bush and the Mujahideen are also waiting for him...the United States has been unmistakably defeated in Iraq, in Afghanistan and has lost the battle for hearts and minds...Al Qaeda continues to strike the ruling regime there as it fights against President Pervez Musharaff's farce of elections..."
Gadahn, continues to threaten the United States and our interests abroad and made reference to the mortgage crisis in America, saying it was triggered by right-wing fanatics trying to usher in the "end days."
