10. Bollyn send an email to McCain's office asking if it's Ibrahim al-Badri (aka Baghdadi)

They answered a fighter from Northern Storm Brigade, but in a Time video this organization is shown calling for the Caliphate.

You wrote and said that the man in the black shirt is "a fighter in the Northern Storm Brigade, a Free Syrian Army-affiliated group with a long history of fighting against ISIS."

I watched a video made by TIME magazine about the Northern Storm Brigade from this website: http://www.trackingterrorism.org/group/azaz-northern-storm-brigade

The video is here: http://www.time.com/time/video/player/0,32068,2280140412001_2140288,00.html

At 4'45" into the video one of the speakers calls for the re-establishment of the Caliphate, which is what the Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL) is meant to do. I don't see a lot of difference between the two, Northern Storm Brigade and IS, if you see what I mean.
