...streets of America shall run red with??blood." The threat, delivered on one of those al-Qaeda videos that appear occasionally online, wasn't that unusual. Except that the man in it and three other videos spoke in perfect American English. His name is Adam Yahiye Gadahn, 28, a Californian who converted to Islam as a teen.

The Gateses and Bono are pioneers, leading us to end that injustice. ALISA...
