Tribune] e White House said on Tuesday that U.S. intelligence agents were working to verify the authenticity of a video purported to show the murder of an American journalist James Foley by Islamic State.

"We have seen a video that purports to be the murder of U.S. citizen James Foley by ISIL. The intelligence community is working as quickly as possible to determine its authenticity," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.

"If genuine, we are appalled by the brutal murder of an innocent American journalist and we express our deepest condolences to his family and friends."

The video, titled "A Message To America," was posted on social media sites.

Foley, who has reported in the Middle East for five years, was kidnapped on Nov. 22, 2012, by unidentified gunnies.

A Twitter account set up by his family to help find him said early on Wednesday: "We know that many of you are looking for confirmation or answers. Please be patient until we all have more information, and keep the Foleys in your thoughts and prayers."

#7  The consequences of this new atrocity will be more outreach to Muslims, more political pandering, more appeasement etc.; and less freedom and more sharia for non-Muslims in the West.

Islam is peace!

#5  Its hard to feel sorry for Journalists. I think I will go take a pee.

And Moslems all over the world are OUTRAGED that the sacredness of American life ( and the newspaper lifestyle ) have been so insulted. They might go right out and kill a jew just on general principles. You know how tender and sensitive the feeling of your average Moslem is.

#4  True, BP, but think of the massive street demonstrations that moderate Muslims in the UK will put together to protest this atrocity. I'm expecting at least a million.
