Saudis Murder Washington Post Columnist in Consulate - Page 5 - Politics and Economics

It's also possible that Khashoggi had his watch and a more sophisticated covert device given to him by Turkish intelligence. Khashoggi was supposedly a former Saudi intelligence officer and was friendly with a lot of Turkish government folks. If he was worried about his safety (he was) he probably could have talked to some Turkish intelligence guys who could have set him up with a hidden device that could record and transmit audio or video.

Regardless, I'd love to see the faces of the murderers when they found the transmitter. Whomp whomp.

Whomp whomp... the Turks [if] listening in real time and not doing anything.

If there was a Turkish CIA type guy I'm not sure what he could do. Only thing I could think of is calling the consulate and being all, hey guys, could you maybe not not murder Khashoggi?

Actually that might work. But I mean unless it's Turkish Jack Bauer listening in I don't think there is much he could do. DAMMIT AL-CHLOE THERE'S NO TIME

this is amazing, it'll probably fly since that aspect will get vastly underreported.

Not getting how a Saudi killed in Turkey is Trumps fault.
Not seen the EU mentioned.
Silicon Valley start ups depend on Saudi money. It's unlikely they will refuse Saudi money, as they say nothing about women's rights etc in Saudi. They just stfu, and take the cash. Although most people believe their fake social justice PR.

Personally I wouldn't jeopardize the 110 billion arms deal if I was American. They will still get arms, but off the Russians or Chinese if America pulls out. We have all been silent on Saudi human rights. I personally don't think a journalist is more important that all the issues we were silent on.

Who'd be a Saudi bone sawing expert, eh? Crown Prince Numbskull tells you to do something stupid, you tell him it's stupid, he makes you to do it anyway, and a week later you're about to get show trialed as part of an effort to appease (among others) Donald Trump. A bad week, should have picked another specialty imo.

It's only an ad hom attack if you think your existence as a russian propaganda bot is a bad thing.

Don't jeopardize the $110B deal, $106B of which Trump made up, and the other $4B of which will be used to bomb school busses!

No. He attacked me, rather than addressing anything I said.

He didn't mention Russians. You made that up!

Do you not think it's mainly journalists that need appeased? I doubt many people care. If Trump does care about journalists, then he must be incredibly kind hearted and forgiving

In the past, others might have wanted the media appeased to shut them up going into the midterms, but a whiney biased press seems to be an advantage now. It's like the kid who cried wolf. It's just white noise.

Odd. This is the opposite of what you would expect in a Trump economy poker boom.

I have many liberal views.

If I was wanting to attack a liberal. I would say something like "liberal lunatic".

Apologies for trying to take the thread out of ad hom and snide comments.....
But why are we now so concerned about SA? Did previous kid glove treatment, lead SA to think it could get away with dismembering journos in Turkey?

UN Watch, a human rights organization monitoring the performance of the United Nations, strongly condemned the appointment of Saudi Arabia to post,citing Riyadh’s poor women’s rights record and widespread gender inequality.

“Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women’s rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief. It’s absurd,” Hillel Neuer, the UN Watch chief, said.

Every Saudi woman “must have a male guardian who makes all critical decisions on her behalf, controlling a woman’s life from her birth until death. Saudi Arabia also bans women from driving cars,” Neuer added.

Who voted for Saudi Arabia? At least 5 EU nations based on UN Watch math

This is why I mentioned my own EU.
