Khashoggi was an apologist and a public relations rep for the Islamic Brotherhood.

He was never a journalist.

I don't care what happened to him, or where it happened.

Sometimes you gotta admire the chutzpah of the Moslems.

I mean, killing 5 over the death of 1?

Here, we can’t even kill 1 for the death of 30 - especially in a reasonably short time.

Reminds me of the stories out of Iraq before Saddam fell. The surgeons amputating innocent people in a stadium, who were surrogates for rich high powered people who had broken I$lamic law

Saudi Arabia remains a power player in that part of the world and a valuable ally. But we should never allow ourselves to be disillusioned into thinking that they operate some sort of free, democratic state. The House of Saud rules that nation with an iron grip and any freedoms or benefits the citizens may enjoy are always conditional. Sadly, we don’t always get to pick and choose who we do business with in the cold light of reality.—
I have an idea.

Let’s foment an Obama Arab Spring there and put Saudi resources in the hands of some terrorist gang. That should work.

[DesertRhino]

How do you say Lee Harvey Oswald in Arabic?

The guy was a Muslim Brotherhood apologist, so he was a ‘player’ in that country. He knew the risks and that things may not end well for him.

What the Saudis didn’t understand was how things work with the US media. The Saudis, given how things have been going back to Jimmy Carter, figured that they would be allowed to ‘take care of business’ without it being a big deal to the Western world, since we all need(ed) their oil.

But with Trump in power, things are different, and if it achieves political points to make a big deal over a typical, run-of-the-mill, assassination, so be it...so they now have to deal with this new reality - at least until a US president is elected who has the support of the US media.

Perhaps he simply felt that some scapegoats would need to be tossed under the blade...

They are being killed because they got caught.
That terrorist deserved to die.

One possibility is that these are simply “disposable people” who have offended the crown at some point and who won’t be missed by anyone in power.

As someday it may happen that a victim must be found,

I got a little list! I've got a little list!

Of society offenders who might well be underground,

And who never would be missed! They never would be missed!....

Be calm, Hillary has not been invited to the funeral services...yet.

[moovova]

I feel sorry for the “usual suspects”.
