Al Qaeda released a tape in which the spokesman was an American:
American intelligence officials believe the man who appears on the tape to be Adam Gadahn of Orange County, Calif. Last year, Gadahn delivered a similar taped communiqué for al Qaeda. That tape was later deemed authentic.
...Only a few years ago, Adam Gadahn was a southern California teenager with interests in the environment and heavy metal music.
Gadahn appears to be a fan of Al Franken:
"Don't believe the lies of the liars at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and 10 Downing Street," Gadahn insists.
It'd be interesting to put Franken on the spot about this and ask him if he's proud that his rhetoric has been adopted by Al Qaeda and used as part of a tape in which the lives of Americans -- presumably including friends of Franken, given that as an entertainer he's likely to have friends in Los Angeles -- are threatened.
