The video was on YouTube but was pulled. You can now find it on Liveleak.
While it may have been coerced, Foley's voice is not the monotone that is associated with reading a statement under duress. Frankly, it sounds to me more like somebody who believed his words.
Leftism exacerbated by Stockholm Syndrome?

It sounds like the boys from ISIS are really pissed off over the killing of Brownie the “Gentle Giant”. This was payback.

At least give FReepers a chance to decide whether or not they choose to see such savage images before clicking on the link!

The guy looks like too well fed to be a captive since 2012. May be this is his way of serving ISIS? Suicide Beheading to inflict psychological damage to innocent American psyche.

We have to get the foreign enemy combatant out of our White House so we can actually fight our enemies.

More probably someone facing the horrible prospect of a more - than - horrible death. There were some Mexicans who had been caught by a cartel and similarly executed (it was written that one was beheaded by chainsaw and another by a knife), and they were also apparently very calm. Almost chatty, and warning others from stealing from the cartel in a very calm manner.
Whether this poor soul was 'liberal' or 'conservative' doesn't matter much in the face of a beheading, and per people who have been rescued from such groups there are often several mock executions, before which they are often told to make various statements. For example the same happened when some UK forces were captured by the West Side Rebels in Sierra Leone. Before their rescue by the SBS and SAS they had undergone several mock executions and had been absolutely worn down after several days.
This man was with these guys for a far far longer time.
The prospect.of beheading, coupled with several mock executions, can have most people saying almost anything.

The image shown on FR is blurred...you have to click on the picture to see the one without blurring.

It was a screenshot of the video (taken at 4:28). It was cropped (and the head blurred) using GIMP 2.8.10. That was the only editing done on the picture. I have no way to verify whether the body shown on the video was Foley's.

Leftism exacerbated by Stockholm Syndrome? James Foley was from my town, graduated from the local high school, and I know his father well. Your speculation is ill-founded, please reconsider your words.
