(MyFoxBoston.com) -- ISIS has released a video of a captured journalist, only this time - it's not a brutal beheading, it's the first in a series of clips where the captive makes long pro-Islamic State speeches.
The video is called "Lend Me Your Ears" and has Arabic subtitles. In it, British journalist John Cantlie, apparently reading from a script, recalls how he was captured by the militant group after he arrived in Syria in 2012.
He explains ISIS has released other captives but not from Britain and the US and says its not wise for them to go to war with the expanding Islamic State.
He said, "Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, 'He's only doing this because he's a prisoner. He's got a gun at his head and he's being forced to do this.' Right? Well, it's true. I am a prisoner, that I cannot deny. But seeing as I've been abandoned by my government and my fate now lies in the hands of the Islamic State, I have nothing to lose."
Cantlie said this message is the first in a series of "lectures" he would deliver about the facts surrounding ISIS.
This video comes after three horrific recordings show American journalists James Foley, Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Cawthorne Haines being beheaded.
Cantlie's roughly three-minute speech was released as pressure mounts in Washington for a strong military push back against the Islamic State, including a House-backed measure to train and arm Syrian opposition to ISIS.
