So, what’s up with all the Adam Gadahn stories? I’m sitting here looking at my home town paper, that ran the AP story of his capture on March 7th. Even ABC put a story out. Now, the WH is playing word games.  Might almost make a person think someone “disappeared” him.

[…Q    On Pakistan, what has the President been updated on in terms of this American that’s been detained there?

MR. BURTON:  Well, we haven’t confirmed any detainments, and I would refer you to the Pakistani government for information about individuals that they’ve detained.

Q    Has he been getting updates, though, on these reports that it could have been Gadahn and now they’ve backed off that?
MR. BURTON:  I assure you that the President gets regular updates about what intelligence there is about people who are detained and what’s happening in the fight against extremists all over the world….]
