Comments on: Adam Gadahn – American al-Qaeda Killed In U.S. Strike? http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/2008/02/07/adam-gadahn-american-al-qaeda-killed-in-us-strike/ Homeland Security News and Information Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:33:18 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: E.J. http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/2008/02/07/adam-gadahn-american-al-qaeda-killed-in-us-strike/comment-page-1/#comment-19582 E.J.

I truly hoped that he would have been captured and brought to the U.S. to face charges. Though I am no longer with the FBI, I would have revealed in the opportunity to confront him and try to understand him. I spent a little over 2 years of my life studying this guy and his life, I have some opinions I would love to test out. Likened to Ahab and Moby Dick, Adam will remain my white whale. With this said, I am not qualitfied nor do I have access to the information/intelligence provided to the FBI regarding his reported death. I have seen the "experts" give their opinion on my the death is probable based in part by the lack of english subtitles on recent videos. Let me offer a word of caution here, Gadahn is the most well know American within the ranks of Al Qaeda. He is also a So Cal native with significant area knowledge. His role as an American propaganda puppet served Al Qaeda well but his purported death may also serve them well. If we think he is dead, then maybe we will stop looking for him. Maybe, he will, under fake documents, be allowed to enter the U.S. and though I believe if he carried a gun he would more like shoot his own foot off, maybe he will help to devise a renewed attack against LAX as the last failed. Al Qaeda is patient and they are smart. I applaud the FBI for the stepped up efforts to locate him overseas. I question any one who tries to minimize Gadahn's value if captured. The smallest peice of informaiton in the right hands can be a gold mine. Remember the Lockerbie bombers were tracked down based on a piece of circuit board no larger than a thumb nail. I for one will not believe Adam is dead until I have seen his head and that DNA for his head has been tested against that of his family.

What's tragic about dead terrorists? “US military officials based in Afghanistan are reportedly collecting details about those killed in the attack on the house and in this regard two of their spy planes continued flying over the same area even after the tragic incident.”

What’s tragic about dead terrorists?
