From CBS News.com:
Now, CBS News’ Farhan Bokhari in Islamabad writes that earlier reports the detained individual was Gadahn proved false. According to a Pakistan security official who spoke with CBS News on condition of anonymity, the arrested individual is in fact “a Taliban militant leader who is known as Abu Yahya.”
The official said evidence compiled from an interrogation of the suspect and information exchanged with U.S. officials verified the man’s identify.
Clearly, no full confirmation just yet.

“Abu Yahya.” How about John Smallberries or John Bigboote, “Its ‘Big boot TAY!'” The monikers are laughable. Attention main stream media: when the news day is slow, and you don’t have a real scandal, lead with the weather, just like the locals do.
Oh, and trolls, go ahead and keep your lecture to yourself about the dignity of the greedy cowards hiding behind the burhquahs and shadors of innocent female human shields.
Lecture averted. Success!
I agree…there is nothing worse than some news group trying to stir up dirt and crap in order to get ratings. I actually saw a piece on the goddard guy, or whatever his name is, and its amazing how extremists can reach deep into the heart of America to recruit. Did you watch that video I told you about BZ? It will answer many questions about liberalism, and the tie it has to communism.
I was wary of the announcement about Gadahn in the first place. So many times, we’ve heard that a particular terrorist was nabbed — only to find out later that the story wasn’t true. **sigh**
bd, I hope you get the message and start coming with constructive comments, although I’m not sure that’s possible from the Socialist point of view. Still, an actual dialogue would be something I MIGHT learn something from. Are you capable?
I think they may actually have him.
Think of it…
If they do, Al Qaeda already knows it, obviously. By now denying they may have him it takes a card from Al Qaeda’s deck. It silences lefties who would want him treated like an American citizen. It gives the U.S. government the latitude to allow Pakistanis to use their methods to interrogate someone who “isn’t Adam Gadahn”. Can you imagine the uproar if the left knew the Pakistanis were using “enhanced techniques” on an American citizen?
“But I’M ADAM GADAHN… A U.S. CITIZEN!”
“Sure you are pal, and I’m the Sheik of Arabi.”
How delicious!
Adam Gadahn is proving to be that *will o’ the wisp* much like Osama…
Here’s the thing I don’t understand, we can track a cow, from birth to damn near what dinner table it was served on and we can’t get cross hairs on these clowns??
I smell PCness, and then there’s that Executive Order about assassinations and all…
Executive Order 12333 – United States Intelligence Activities
“Can you imagine the uproar if the left knew the Pakistanis were using “enhanced techniques” on an American citizen?”
Oooooo. . . (sound of BZ rubbing his hands together)
BZ
TF: EO 12333, and here’s the thing, was signed by FORD, fer shit’s sake. Heavy sigh.

I wish they’d got him, but then he’d be so revered, given American lawyers, get a book deal, be a big celeb….he could marry OctaMom and go on Dancing with the Stars..
ugh..stop me. VAT A COUNTRY 🙂
By the way, now this creep’s given permission to every muslim hot head to kill for Allah and NOT be a martyr, too boot. Hey, they don’t HAVE to die to be FAMOUS now! Did you hear?
