(CNN) -- U.S. Embassies and American interests "at home and abroad"
are prime targets for terrorist attacks, American al Qaeda member
Adam Yahiye Gadahn said in a newly released al Qaeda-produced video.

"We shall continue to target you at home and abroad just as you
target us at home and abroad ... ," Gadahn -- also known as Azzam
the American -- says in the video provided to CNN by
www.LauraMansfield.com, a Web site that analyzes terrorism.

Later in the video, which is about an hour long and takes the form
of a documentary, the self-proclaimed American jihadist makes explicit
threats against the United States and U.S. interests, singling out
embassies and consulates.

1. Everything you need to know about Laura Mansfield

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Laura_Mansfield

Laura Mansfield is an Arabic translator and former Associate Director of the Northeast Intelligence Network. Mansfield is a contributor to World Net Daily and FrontPageMag.com.

And she's being portrayed as an unbiased expert?!

Oh, and let me ask this ... how does she end up with this "terrorist video," and what in blazes is she doing providing it to CNN and not, say, the feds? (Sorry, I know; difficult questions.)

3. Does that mean you think the guy making the video is not a traitor?

I don't know about you, but, imo, Adam Gadahn is a complete jerk, dangerous and deserving of his traitor indictment. The guy is sitting there with al Qaeda, working out his post-teenaged angst of not feeling important enough while bin Ladin and co use him like Tokyo Mary.

I don't need a Laura Mansfield to tell me the guy is a tool, and her involvement does not raise doubts for me that he's posting his propaganda on the Internet or make me doubt that he's part of a group planning bad acts.

Sometimes a traitor is just a traitor.
