(AP)  Al Qaeda announced Thursday that it would soon release a new video message from American-born member Adam Gadahn that would be the first message from the terror group in 2008.

"Coming soon by the will of God, an invitation to reflection and repentance," read a banner produced by al Qaeda's media wing, al-Sahab, and displayed on a militant Web site.

An image of the bearded Gadahn wearing a red-and-white checkered Arab scarf appears on the banner.

The California-born Gadahn, also known as Azzam al-Amriki, was charged with treason in the U.S. in 2006 and has been wanted since 2004 by the FBI, which is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction.

He last appeared on a video in August threatening new attacks on foreign embassies.

"The FBI and our intelligence community partners will review the latest tape for any intelligence value. The hunt for Adam Gadahn continues and we won't ever give up," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said. "We are employing the full force of the FBI to find and arrest him. The constant pressure greatly decreases his chance of successfully conducting any terrorist operations."

This is rich...the grandson of a board member of the Israeli intelligence front, the Anti-Defamation League, is also the spokesman for al Qaeda....

Kind of brings back memories of the 9-11 hijackers where the Jewish kid who was later the star in the al Qaeda snuff film with his own beheading at a place that looked for all the world like Abu Grahib...down to the English voices coming through in the background of the tape...He had just been released by the Americans and fell right into the hands of ''al Qaeda''...will the coincidences never end? He, if you will recall, had by chance given his computer password to a total stranger on a bus who just happened to be the so-called "twentieth hijacker".

The ADL has already lost a case in California for spying on Americans. Their colleagues in the Israeli intelligence front, AIPAC, are awaiting trial for stealing American secrets. Now we have Azzam al Amriki aka Azzam the Putz, Azzam the Meshugganah doing video for the goofy Israelis with the SITE Intelligence Group to ''git up a skeer'' among America''s dissociatives.

All major corporate news networks are owned by members and associates of the NPC (National Policy Council) and the PNAC (Project for a New American Century) both are private organizations Who''s objectives include total global business control without government interference. Their employees were instructed not to draw any links between BIG OIL and the middleast wars. NBC news anchor got the message when he was sent U.S.Army military grade Anthrax. After the Iraq invasion the administration declared oil & energy policy off limits, cloaking it under the veil of National Security so that even the Congress can''t make public comment. They are not able to show any connection or they could be sanctioned under House Rules.

Meanwhile, the genocidal actions of this cabal of corporate fascists goes unchallenged by CBS ------- and the rest of fourth estate.

Posted by psy_war, fellow patriot!

cbs and others are wholly owned subsidiaries of corporate America who willingly or under pressure ("you''re either with us or against us") have become a part of the conservative neocon medusa agenda.
Recently is was announced that "William Kristol" will be working for the NY Times!

this conservative medusa wants to roll-back or eliminate all attempts of a democratic government, under the Constitution, to assist the social advancement of our country. Their principle objectives are focused on health care, health insurance, welfare, unionism, minimum wage.

What better way to ignore or relegate these important issues, than having the country at "war".

Azzam al-Amriki (translation: "the sour American") is as dumb an alias as you can pick. Sounds like "Nicky the Nose" or "Joey Bananas" "Fat Tony". Seriously straight out of the CIA version of "the Arab Godfather".

I want to see this one...
