dude, he does not need to worry.

He’ll be the double for George Clooney in his next movie.

Take off the beard and he’s a “dead” ringer.

Tomorrow’s headlines will read about his daring escape from the heavily fortified prison. Kinda like Otis from the Mayberry jail.

For 5 million, it’s almost worth making the trip over, and bringing the SOB back myself. I figure after overhead, and taxes, I can probably still clear 2.5 million easy. Just a thought…..

How much does this guy look like George Clooney with a prosthetic beard? I see a movie of the week in the making.

I thought exactly the same thing. The Hamas leader in Damascus looks like Clooney too. What’s up with that?

I thought the picture looked more like grown-up Peter from the Brady Bunch. (with a beard) =)

Time for a Predator visit upon Mr. Elbaneh. Warm up the Hellfires…
.
And if any bleating liberal hearts want to whinbe about killing an American Al Qaeda terrorist, let’s hear some MSM SOBs wailing about a killed traitor enemy!

Jaber Elbaneh escapes from Yemeni prison in Five… Four… Three…

As I recall, Adam Gadahn achieved room temperature maybe 2 months ago in the border region of Pakistan. It is alleged he died due to food poisoning and a Hellfire missile, but mostly a Hellfire missile.

@8:25

Adam Gadahn (a.k.a. “Azzam al-Amriki”), the California native who was recruited by Al-Qaida computer specialists living in Garden Grove in the late 1990s, and who later traveled on to Pakistan seeking to join his new hero Usama Bin Laden.

Distinction.

I’m kinda surprised we hadn’t kidnapped him.

I think he resembles Taylor Hicks. Is this what really happens to those who win American Idol?

Good point trubble. But if there’s a terrorist who’s targeting the U.S. running around out there, maybe you just have to operate in a gray area and eliminate him no matter what his citizenship. Obviously it should only be a last resort method very rarely used.

Like I said, I agree with the sentiment. The world is an imperfect place, accidents happen all the time. >;-) It’d be a shame if we were targetting a non-US citizen with a predator and this turd happened to be riding in the same car. A damn shame.

I just hate when people spout the tired old “Bush is a war criminal” crap and I don’t want to give them an actual crime to bitch about.

Is this the kid from Southern California? News releases in English should include the given English name of suspects aka criminals.

Amazing, the reverberating effects of al-Maliki’s success across borders in the region may play a nagging part in the Yemen Pres. Saleh’s momentary pause in providing Elbaneh’s refuge ‘get out of jail’ free pass. That a Yemen judge takes part in the politics of “justice” makes an outsider wonder of all the connections involved. Follow the fear; follow the money.

Why does the tune "I'll Be Home for Christmas (or EID, in this instance)" suddenly start playing in my head? Revolving door Islamo-justice alert.

Nothing that a small amount of lead couldn’t fix.

I agree with the sentiment, but given he has American citizenship, is it legal?
