CNN Reports "Adam Gadahn, an American citizen who has repeatedly appeared as spokesman for al Qaeda, has been arrested in Pakistan,
CNN reports they were told by senior Pakistani official.

He was arrested in Karachi Pakistan.

Gadahn has been charged with treason by the US. Washington was offering a $6 million reward for his capture.

This will be very interesting, as it is at high risk of becoming a political football, along the lines of the Guantanamo prisoners. Will he be tried in US courts or by military tribunals as an enemy combatant?

Will he be afforded the rights of American citizens by his captors or will the Pakistanis torture him and ignore the rights he would have as a US citizen.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
