Adam Gadahn arrested: Al Qaeda’s American spokesman arrested in Pakistan.
Enemy combatant or American citizen?
Military tribunals or civil courts?
The charge against him, treason, is a death penalty offense for which no one has been executed since the 60s. This is going to be high in the news for a long time and will prompt some major constitutional questions.
Gadahn was just in the news yesterday for a new tape calling on Western Muslims to attack their own countries and suggesting targets. It will also probably feature prominently in media coverage.
