Ukrainian hacking group CyberBerkut released this video back in 2015, claiming they ripped it from one of John McCain's laptops.
It's been brought to my attention that individuals at the time of James Foley's beheading were concerned about the veracity of the video.
Given what we know now, rewatch this clip from ABC news.
Now, I'm not saying these are the same incident. Not at all. The Foley one, for instance, definitely looks filmed outside.
But don't you find it a bit off that Foley is wearing a mic? Like, an expensive lav mic that hooks up wirelessly to the multi-camera setup they just happen to have out here in the desert.
And remember how his death was used as justification for military action in Syria?
Hmmm…. Foley worked for USAID.
Where else have we seen USAID today? (Hint: Second photo).
