Kerry described al-Kasasbeh as everything he says ISIS is not: "He was brave, compassionate and principled. That he was murdered after his father's plea for compassion reminds all the world that this foe has no agenda other than to kill and destroy and places no value on life, including that of fellow Muslims."
