Adam Gadahn, aka "Azzam the Porky", caught in Pakistan; Holder may press charges against captors who squeezed arm "hard enough to leave a bruise"

It's Hammer Time as chunky American-turned-terrorist Adam Gadahn is reported to have been captured in Karachi, Pakistan. [Oh, boys, dost thou have turncoats in your midst? Perhaps you should cleanse the ranks of suspected rat-finks.]

Gadahn is, according to MSNBC, the first American to have been charged with treason (richly deserved, I might add) in 50 years. Gadahn is 31 years old and was raised on a farm in Riverside County, California. After visiting a mosque in Orange County, he quickly became -- try and contain your shock -- radicalized and ended up moving to Pakistan at age 19.

Because of his English-speaking skills and his jolly, fleshy appearance, Gadahn was selected as a key spokesman for Al Qaeda. He also is said to have secured a lucrative endorsement deal with Infidel-Beheader Brand™ Scimitars.

In recent years he has called for numerous attacks on the U.S. homeland and has even recommended finding ways to shake "consumer confidence and stifle spending"; as for the latter suggestion, Democrats appear to have taken it to heart with massive failed spending programs including a Stimulus package, Omnibus budget bills, jobs programs, housing rescues, and auto company takeovers.


Update: Darleen Click: "How soon will the Left try and cast Gadahn as a rightwing Teabagger?"

Update II: Apparently, it was not Adam Gadahn but some other American jihadist who was arrested.
