Saudi officials kill journalist, what's the response going to be?

[BugI02]

So, if the evidence being dangled was classified (or the Saudi equivalent), then being involved in espionage couldn't open him to rendition? Who knew

Holy sophistry, Batman!

If you report stuff and write stuff for newspapers/periodicals/news outlets, you are a journalist.


I'm not sure what he is now, but he has historically been an economist.

If he writes about economics for a news outlet then, yes, he can be counted as a journalist.



He was also an entrepreneur of sorts, starting up various news outlets in the mideast.

Crazy idea: it isn't a binary world.


Quite the coincidence.

I have many cousins. With a significant spectrum of backgrounds.



Who, Khashoggi? Link please.

As noted above, he may have been many things, but he was not American.



Indeed. I don't think Trump was accurate when he described the coverup as the worst in history. But, I do agree with him that it was poorly conceived, poorly executed, and poorly covered up. That's a bad combination.

I also think that we are striking the right tone (or close enough) with our response. This needs to be addressed, and the Saudis, at least superficially, are playing ball. They'll protect the crown prince (which makes sense), but everyone else involved can be sacrificed.

Sorry I just got back to this thread and saw your reply and question to me.
I dont remember now what channel it was but I was watching a live broadcast and the female anchor said he was an American. I was shocked.

Careful with that petard.

It's cool, I bought it from Adnan

We call them breaching charges now, BTW

Ok, but "hoisted on his own breaching charge" makes no sense.

I was in the car listening to an NPR interview with an actual mideast journalist (NYT's Robert Worth) about conditions in Yemen. I noticed that when Terry Gross mentioned Jamal Khashoggi, she referred to him as a Washington Post columnist

ho ho ho

Still on about that?

That he was a columnist for WaPo is no less true than that he was a journalist for several/many news outlets over the course of his career.

Saudi Arabia indicts 11, seeks death penalty for 5, in Jamal Khashoggi's murder

Translation...

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman picked 5 guys off his, "People I Wish Were Dead" list, and 6 more off his, "People I Need To Send a Message To" list to take the fall for Jamal Khashoggi's murder.

 

[T.Lex]

Yeah, but now they can say they've "acted decisively" and cleared the crown prince of any wrongdoing.

 

[T.Lex]

Apparently the CIA is telling people - like senators - things that are different than what POTUS is saying.

More 4D chess.

President @RT_Erdogan of Turkey has very strongly informed me that he will eradicate whatever is left of ISIS in Syria....and he is a man who can do it plus, Turkey is right “next door.” Our troops are coming home!

Trump essentially admitting he's ceding the area to Turkey, which has explicitly said it wants to wipe out our Kurdish allies who were sacrificed against ISIS.

When you're counting on the word of a brutal Islamist dictator, you're doing it wrong. This would be no different than Obama citing Supreme Leader Khamenei to justify the Iran deal and a promise not to build nukes. It should be mocked in the same way.

Erdogon wants us out of theater just as much as Trump does. That’s what this is telling us.

It's good Khashoggi is gone. The MSM has used this up. The enemies of Trump and America must be called for their lies every single time.

Yeppers. I miss him about as much as I would miss Linda Sarsour, and for the same reasons. The Saudis were very clumsy.

The Kurds have been screwed time and again. Out of all of the groups in that area, I feel sorry for them.

Bombshell: New Info Says Khashoggi Was A Foreign Influence Agent

The Washington Post has caused itself a major scandal since it has come to light they and their martyred “reformer” Jamal Khashoggi were publishing anti-Saudi propaganda for Qatar. They tried to bury this in a pre-Christmas Saturday news dump, but that can’t stop the damage this will do to their reputation.

“Text messages between Khashoggi and an executive at Qatar Foundation International show that the executive, Maggie Mitchell Salem, at times shaped the columns he submitted to The Washington Post, proposing topics, drafting material and prodding him to take a harder line against the Saudi government,” the Post wrote December 21
