Awful tragic news from overseas late today.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's about an American journalist named James Foley beheaded by ISIS militants in a graphic video that's been posted on the web.
speaker_1SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So a man being
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
thrown from a building.
Sam GoodwinGUEST
Some of them, a couple were Americans, and then a couple were from other countries like Denmark and France.
Sam GoodwinGUEST
And those countries, they spoke, they communicated with the terrorists directly, and many of them got released, whereas some of the Americans, like Jim Foley and Stephen Sotloff, Kayla Mueller, they were killed.
Sam GoodwinGUEST
And so that actually kind of it kind of led to today.
Sam GoodwinGUEST
There's a, uh, an entity or a ecosystem within the U S government that was designed and established in 2015, kind of as a result of what you're talking about negotiating.
Joe GigantiHOST
Well, and you make a...
Joe GigantiHOST
By the way, you're, you're thinking of, uh, James Foley was the American freelance, uh, war correspondent.
Joe GigantiHOST
He was abducted in Syria in 2010, 2012.
Joe GigantiHOST
Uh, executed by ISIS.
ClarenceAUDIENCE
What do you think, Joe?
Joe GigantiHOST
Well, and you, maybe, by the way, you're, you're thinking of, uh, James Foley was the American freelance, uh, war correspondent.
Joe GigantiHOST
He was abducted in Syria in 2010, 2012.
Joe GigantiHOST
Uh, executed by ISIS.
Joseph CoxHOST
Um, and then you can get some more advanced stuff, like if you're trying to figure out when a photo was taken, um, like you might be looking at shadows, and you might be trying to figure out the position of the sun and stuff like that.
Joseph CoxHOST
And I remember Bellingcat did, you know, like, a really incredible job on that when they were trying to figure out when exactly the beheading of, you know, James Foley happened, uh, by ISIS all those years ago, and they, they did a really good investigation into that.
Joseph CoxHOST
And then you keep building from there, and you find these little clues or whatever.
Joseph CoxHOST
But finding where a photo was taken inside a house or rather what house a photo was taken in, it-it's like I don't think it's straightforward.
Glenn KirschnerGUEST
Real, real quick, can I make a correction, uh, for the audience? [laughs] I said earlier that, that, uh, beheaded journalist's name was Mark Foley.
Glenn KirschnerGUEST
It's actually James Foley.
Glenn KirschnerGUEST
Mark Foley was the representative who went down-
Brian KaremHOST
There you go
Sara EisenGUEST
You know, I saw a quote from you, Senator, talking about how, you know, you see this in Iran, or you see this in, you know, Afghanistan.
Sara EisenGUEST
Bill, I went to gra- I went to grad school for journalism school with a man named James Foley.
Sara EisenGUEST
He was a journalist-
Bill MaherHOST
Yeah
Peter B. CollinsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You talk about the beheadings that have gone on and carried out by ISIS of the journalists themselves.
Peter B. CollinsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Stephen Sotloff and James Foley.
Peter B. CollinsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Beheadings is such a gruesome thing.
Peter B. CollinsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It always reminds me of, I always think first of Daniel Pearl, who of course died that way and also videotaped and released to the world just months after 9-11 in Pakistan, also a journalist.
speaker_27GUEST
Hello, I love France and Belgium and it is with pleasure that I take the time to give you this service.
speaker_27GUEST
Regarding James Foley and John Cantlie, I tried to go back to my investigation at the source and I got some first interesting elements.
speaker_27GUEST
Apart from that, the journalist Tracy Shelton, one of my acquaintances and friend of James, agreed to provide me with the clues she had.
Tracy SheltonCORRESPONDENT
When James Foley and John Cantlie were kidnapped in Idlib, one of the first people that I contacted was Abu Hajar.
Tracy SheltonCORRESPONDENT
He was very worried about the damage it was going to do to the reputation
MurielGUEST
of
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
His real name is Mohammed Mwazi, which has nothing to do with John.
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then, all over the news, they... plastered the image of Jihadi John beheading his victims, in this case, Foley.
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, question.
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Is this real? Or is this what they want you to believe?
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This is not real.
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I wanted to know the various actors, who are they, and what happened.
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, according to USA Today, James Foley was educated at the Catholic Jesuit College in Milwaukee.
Walter VeithSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So this is Jesuit involvement again.
