The youtubes were taken down soon after they were put up......
however, those of us who saw it........
It simply consisted of the black garbed terrorist standing next to Foley, while giving his long diatribe, then stepping BEHIND FOLEY......putting the short knife to the front of his throat. The next scene was the journalist laying on the ground. The head part was covered with a brown cloth. Foley was also allowed to give a short goodbye to his parents......he was very very brave as his mom has said. Those of us who have adult children who fly & travel all over the world, the same children who were taught to love everyone worldwide.......the same children who accepted diversity, who volunteered to help struggling nations via good deeds.....now have to pause & wonder "what went wrong" as our world seems to have come under the influence of madmen.....& I do not mean Madison Avenue Advertising firms.........but barbarians from the dark ages, bent on destroying all of us.
The "General's execution" on Aljazeera only showed his head placed between his legs (he was in uniform) while his torso was tilted toward the very bloody spot where his head came off. My husband saw the execution , which I did not see. They made him bend over & cut from the back of the neck...........whereas with Foley, the journalist from N.H., the terrorist cut with the small knife to the throat. Just the thought of it is excruciating to comprehend. But, knowledge is power.
