A piece at ABC is entitled: “American Al Qaeda Leader Says U.S. Embassies a Prime Target.” The so-called “Leader” turns out to be Adam Gadahn, not so long ago a teenage loser from Orange County with a heavy metal addiction. (Here’s a profile of Gadahn from two years ago — he’s quite a piece of work, and from a swell family to boot.) Now he’s a “Leader.” The senior ranks of al Qaeda must have thinned considerably for this gentleman to rise to the top. Here’s Mr. Gadahn’s latest warning:

“We shall continue to target you at home and abroad, just as you target us at home and abroad, and these spy dens and military command and control centers from which you plotted your aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq, and which still provide vital moral, military, material and logistical support to the Crusade, shall continue to be legitimate targets for brave Muslims,” says Gadahn, who hails from Orange County, Calif. “Stop the Crusade,and leave the Muslims alone.”…

“As for our message to the Americans and their Crusader allies,” said Gadahn, “it is this: The amount of respect we have for your international law is even less than the respect you hold for divine Shariah, and our observance of it is comparable to your observance of Shariah’s. How can we comply with a law which contradicts divine law in whole and in part? How can we recognize a law which states that the embassy or consulate is for all intents and purposes an inviolable fortress which the host country has no right to enter or monitor and when our Shariah’s commands us to liberate every handspan of Islamic land occupied by the unbelievers?”

Annual warnings appear to be a pattern with this fellow. In his similar warning a year ago, Mr. Gadahn counseled Americans to convert to his religion or die: “Time is running out so make the right choice before it’s too late.” Gadahn should take his own advice.
