There's an e-petition done by Poppy Douglass urging Cameron to negotiate and raise the profile of Cantlie's detention.
Difficult to say whether that's a good thing or not. If Is
ts see that he's "valuable", it may push them the other way. All the pleas for the lives of the other guys led to a bad outcome.CAPP0 said:

All the pleas for the lives of the other guys led to a bad outcome.I do hope his (apparent) strategy of "I'm media savvy, let me be your spokesman to the West" is a calculated game to keep him alive pending rescue.
I'm calling bullst on that shack being hit by a missile though. Looks like any stty old building site/derelict land. If it had scored a direct hit from a Hellfire I very much doubt there would be much of a $50 shack left - they've just set a couple of yoofs on that with a sledgehammer.

So he's on our side, being forced into talking for their side ?I'm calling bulls

He doesn't appear to be under as much duress as I'd have expected in that video.
I don't pretend to understand the history of this story, but is it possible that he's actually on their side and being taunted as a prisoner for some other reason ?

Stockholm syndrome?He doesn't appear to be under as much duress as I'd have expected in that video.

Stockholm syndrome could be a good shout. I cant help but think several factors, either he is a bloody good actor or he seems to actually be thinking like IS or at leasr is sympathetic to their cause another factor being he escaped and went back which isnt the normal behaviour of someone held captive.
I also appreciate having his head chopped off might be reason to suddenly become a good actor, I know I would.

He's being held captive by nutters.
If pretending like I gave a flying fk had a chance of me seeing the UK again I'd be doing it in a Rangers or celtic top shouting down with this kinda thing.
This isn't rocket science. It's called survival. You think he'd last long if he shouted "bomb theses" in every video.
