James Foley being executed by Isis member John
Brave journalist, James Foley, was executed in Syria
by a member of the terrorist organization ISIS (also known as ISL).
For years 40-year-old Foley had covered many stories in the Middle
East, traveling to dangerous places in attempting to shed light on
what has been transpiring in the region.

Over the past few weeks, the journalist's parents,
Diane and John Foley, were sent death threats, which indicated the
terrorist group who abducted James two years ago, intended to kill
him shortly. Tragically they did in gruesome fashion, then released
a video of the execution to the internet.

Foley's story is reminiscent of brave, innocent
38-year-old journalist, Daniel Pearl, who was murdered by terrorists
in the Pakistan in 2002. Foley was an innocent conveying the news
through his eyes. The Judiciary Report sends its condolences to Foley's family and friends.
