Foley, has been missing since November, 2012, after being taken hostage at gunpoint while reporting from Taftanaz, in northern Syria, for the agency, GlobalPost.

ISIS posted the extremely graphic video titled 'A message to America' to social media as proof of their barbaric actions.

Every one of these guys (especially the low level ones) should be hunted down and dealt with severely. The reason I say low level is that it's a powerful message that the anonymity of the group will not protect you.

Anyone with a mask should be summarily executed and not taken as a POW.

People should question what physicists say about true anonymity. It does not exist. The masks only work for a short time.
