Also worth noting is that he wasn't kidnapped in a response to the "outrage" over the prison abuse scandal. He was kidnapped for being a Westerner/American/Jew; this probably factored more into his death than the prison story.
I will say that the prison story gave them a motive to kill him "now" rather than hold onto him longer. That plus another hostage had already escaped.

I'll not cut CBS nor Hackworth any slack.
The military had every right and every reason
to investigate the so-called prison abuse without
the biased media airing a half-baked story.
The murderous coward in the ski mask praised allah
and claimed retaliation. OK, on this I'll take his word.
