Here is my perfectly rational and honest problems with the video.
How do we know foley is dead?
We dont. The video didnt prove that.
How do we know anyone in that video was a member of isis other than the fact that the guy in the new pajamas said so?
We dont. Unlike most if not all the other isis videos there were easily recognizable ppl(infamous terrorists) in it that authenticated the videos. On purpose i am sure. So we would know for sure who we were dealing with. Not in this video.
And finally, how do we know that video was recorded in the Middle east?
We dont. Just like my problem with not knowing for sure if it was isis members in the video. In the other videos the camera moved around and showed land marks that made it clear where they were. Why would they hide? We know where they are. In this video it is a tight shot of a desert landscape that could literally be anywhere in the United States SW, for example.
I would accept it is as likely authentic if 2 out of three were proven. 100% authentic if all three were.
As it is now, no one can even validate one of these perfectly rational and common sense problems i have with the video.
