BAGHDAD, Feb 14 (Reuters) - CNN broadcast on Wednesday what it said was a video showing a U.S.-Iraqi soldier who was kidnapped in Baghdad nearly five months ago.

The undated video, posted on a militant Web site, showed Ahmed al-Taie, a 41-year-old linguist, reading a statement.

"Proof of life was a condition for continuing dialogue" with the kidnappers, his uncle Entifadh al-Taie told CNN from Washington.

"There is no date on this. We don't know if he is in good shape now."

I've been wondering about the status of this missing soldier.

I heard CNN will give the kidnappers new cameras, lights and sound equipment for the beheading... as long as they're guaranteed sole rights to the video.
