THE beheading of American journalist, James Foley, at the hands of ISIS militants shocked the world but forensic experts have revealed the video was probably staged, with the murder happening off camera.

The UK Times reported that an international forensic science company, which has worked for police forces across Britain, said there is no question Foley was beheaded but that camera trickery and post-production techniques look to have been used.

“I think it has been staged,” said one expert in visual forensics, after he was commissioned by The UK Times to examine the footage.

“My feeling is that the execution may have happened after the camera was stopped.”

Aymenn al-Tamimi, a fellow at the Middle East Forum think-tank, said over the years ISIS militants have improved the production quality of their videos.

The analysis by experts has highlighted a number of inconsistencies that could suggest that the beheading of Foley, which was seen on the video, was not his actual death.

The important thing is whether Obama sunk his Birdie putt 3 minutes after his half-hearted presser on the topic.

If that is in fact true: isn’t that incredibly stupid?

They may have given Barry and his minions - golfing buddies- a brief pause but the rest of the country ain’t too happy about it.

I’ve seen Obammy’s swing on television. If he’s putting at Birdie.... its because he’s playing off the ladies tees.

You should have highlighted this part.

The UK Times reported that an international forensic science company, which has worked for police forces across Britain, said there is no question Foley was beheaded but that camera trickery and post-production techniques look to have been used.

That would make no sense. They have been brutally massacring people en masse. We’ve seen shootings, beheadings and other mass killings. Why fake this one?

What you said.

And we need to start taking some real action against these people, things their little primitive minds can understand.

We need to start feeding their corpses to pigs.

We might feed them alive to pigs, but that would not be civilized, so we kill them first then let the pigs have at it.

I’m quite, quite serious.

This particular expert thinks it happened; only later. I didn’t watch the video nor do I plan to. I feel sympathy for his family because I realize it’s a horrific memory they now must live with.

Don’t really care! All I want to see is the A-10 Warthog back in action. Pay them back with 132 million 30mm rounds. That should do it. Do you really need an excuse to kill these bastards?

Yup, post production processing is common and not the same as fake.

I dunno. Maybe it’s easier to pretend to kill someone for the camera than deal with their struggling. Maybe Foley fought back and ruined the take.

Didn’t see it and don’t care to.

It would certainly explain why he didn’t flinch in his last moments.
