I guess he was beaten down and broken ove a long period prior to this. He can’t be forced to say anything.

Easy to armchair quarterback when one wasn't on this particular "chopping block".

No sane person would question why he made the statements or try to figure out a reason for it.

Tragic - terrified people say things like that, hoping against all hope they may be allowed to live, even if just for a few more minutes. If my day ever comes, I hope I have the courage to say something that mocks and enrages my ISIS captors, even though the tape would be destroyed.

It is hard to say what the murdered men might have been subjected to, what kinds of torture; physical and psychological or even repeatedly raped prior to their beheadings. I’m not sure if it is true or not, but I’ve heard it said that ISIS have their prisoners read statements under duress frequently with the “promise” that if they do so, they won’t be beheaded that day and most days they aren’t beheaded until the day they are.

It is also possible that they were shown pictures of and the home addresses, email addresses of their family members, perhaps even pictures of their family members taken by sleeper agents telling them that their families will be killed unless… or that unseen by the camera, there are other prisoners and they were told, “if you don’t read this statement, you will watch as we kill one of your fellow prisoners.”

I’d like to think that if I were about to be murdered by these savages, I wouldn’t read the statement or would read it and then as I knew I was about to be killed shout out, “That’s a lie, just like your Koran, a book only worthy of being used as toilet paper and your pedophile, camel f’ing supposed prophet who is rotting in hell and being raped by pigs and dogs this very minute”. But of course ISIS wouldn’t release that video, would they?
