However, the biggest things to me were the demanor of Foley, and the English sounding dude. If you closed your eyes and listened to the English/ISIS dudes speech, it sounds like it could be right out of a movie. That is just my opinion. Again, I can't say for sure either way.
The 'English sounding dude' doesn't raise any suspicions for me and I'm not sure why it should for anybody else. The British government have estimated that there are over 500 British citizens in Syria and Iraq fighting a 'Jihad'. It has been widely reported in the news here that MI5 are trying to identify the man.
He just sounds like a regular dude from the London or south east of England.
It is suspected that he was picked for the video for shock value. 'OMG it's an English guy too!'

Killer is from West Yorkshire judging by accent . Don't need to be a linguistic expert !
Nope, "John" (jihadist) is from East London and the UK police are closing in on who he really is.
Check out the UKs front pages for tomorrow www.bbc.co.uk...
West Yorkshire? I'm a Londoner and can easily tell his accent is from the East End, (Tower Hamlets, Mile End etc).
Are you a UK member?

His demeanour to me seems the same as many other videos of jihadists/mujahideen seem. They are, after all carefully scripted.
My thoughts regarding the British man in the video is that he was ONLY chosen as he was British, he is wooden and unnatural in front of the camera as some people are.
I have doubts that he carried out the actual killing too.

Why wouldn't Foley try to wiggle and squirm once he realized its for real? Nick Berg let out a horrific scream! Foley not a peep?????

I haven't seen the video, but if it is a fake, what a rotten thing to do.
4. Murderer has educated sounding English accent.
