>To play devils advocate here, have you ever seen al-Awlaki armed? Or >even on a battlefield?
How do I even know what you look like. But he was travelling in a convoy of 5 trucks with an armed escort. he's appeared in multiple web videos with an AK-47. So yes. hey may have been. > >It seems to me that this role was more of a propaganda role, ala Tokyo >Rose in WWII. There were a couple of Tokyo Rose's but the US Citizens >who were accussed of such roles were all pardoned and/or released. Lord Ha-Ha spent the rest of his life in a British prison. The US did not trace the fate of most of the american survivors - only prosecuting one or two prominent ones. From what I understand most of them died on the eastern front or in Soviet prison camps. A few were captured by Allied forces in the west and mostly turned over to the US forces. One incident the prisoner never made it to a stockade, but was killed "trying to escape." > >Al-Awlaki was certainly advocating for jihad against the US, but as >far as I'm aware, he had no direct role in any acts of physical >aggression against the country. Perhaps I'm wrong on that account. But >if that is true, how does he differ from historical anti-US propaganda >outlets of the past? His phone contacts with Hassan immediately before the Ft. Hood killings suggest that he had a more active role than just propaganda. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:343195 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
