Holy crap - Time Magazine just had an article in their latest issue on the reporters still being held throughout the world by @$$wipe groups like ISIS and he was the first pic they showed. Horrible news. ISIS and their ilk live in a parallel universe.

Hopefully they determine the video is not authentic, but I'm not hopeful. RIP and prayers for his family.

At the risk of venturing into the political realm,there is evil in this world, and much of it is associated with Muslim religious extremists. Would that our current Commander-in-Chief weren't so equivocal in this regard.

Right. Cause the policy under the previous one worked so well. (I can be needlessly political too.)

At least the previous one did not allow for a new "State"... In any event, there is no winning with these extremists. Sad world we are stuck in. It's not politics, it's religion sadly.

Never mind. Shouldn't have injected that. RIP James Foley.

it is both. In many parts of the world, politics and religion go hand in hand. These nut jobs are dangerous and threatening to destabilize the whole region. ISIS hates the West.

Even the Pope has said it might be time to take ISIS out, and that's a rare stance for him to take.

I shudder to think about how much worse it will get if the White House continues to drag its feet.

Terrible story. Prayers for you and your family James Foley.
