Khashoggi's final words: I can't breathe [per CNN source]
INN ^ | 12/10/18 04:33 | Ben Ariel

“I can’t breathe” were the final words uttered by Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi after he was set upon by a Saudi hit squad at the country’s consulate in Istanbul, a source briefed on the investigation into his killing told CNN on Sunday.

During the course of the gruesome scene, the source describes Khashoggi struggling against a group of people determined to kill him.

He repeatedly says, “I can’t breathe”. The transcript notes the sounds of Khashoggi’s body being dismembered by a saw, as the alleged perpetrators are advised to listen to music to block out the sound.

According to the source, the transcript suggests that a series of phone calls are made, briefing them on progress. Turkish officials believe the calls were made to senior figures in Riyadh.

Some of the details in the transcript seen by CNN’s source have emerged in previous reports of the recording’s content, but Sunday’s report is the fullest account of the transcript that has so far been published. …

I liked this comment by Lindsey Graham.

"There's not a smoking gun, there's a smoking saw," he said.

Old school or hi-tech.

Wonder which one puts out more smoke?

Sorry, not believing these reports. Who created the transcript? Who is the "source"? Turkish "law enforcement"? Yeah, very believable, I'm sure.

Dunno. One report said he was cut up alive in a 7 minute killing. That's a LONG 7 minutes. Then 15 minutes to finish slicing up the body.

My bet is on power tools. More efficient. You should always use the right tools for the job.

Dr Salah Mohammed al-Tubaigy aka "Dr. Death" was supposedly the chopper-upper.

This SOB supported the Muslim Brotherhood which supported ISIS. ISIS crucified, burned alive, drowned and otherwise savagely abused people.
He got what he deserved and more of them should get it.
Once again the DemocRats and leftist media are threstening America’s best interests to get at Trump and gutless Republicans in Congress are refusing to support him.

Hey CNN and all other networks, generally speaking, when people die, most develope an issue with breathing.

It’s kind of like when Keshoggi’s Brotherhood, AQ, Hamas, and Hezballah friends and associates, cut off childrens heads, or make children cut off their parents heads with a short dull knife. From the video footage they circulate, they generally stopped breathing along the way.

And don’t forget about the agonizing pain experienced. When Keshoggi’s lifelong associates dismember a child, or have a child dismember a family member, the pain experienced is probably close to the level of excruciating pain experienced by aborted children.

Just putting it out there.

Dear Silverleaf - you would have to believe a sovereign has the right to kill anyone who disagrees with him/her. I do not believe any one man/woman has that right. At the very least Khashoggi(sp?} deserved a trial, and though I think it would have been abhorrent to smuggle him from the Embassy to Saudi Arabia, to face trial there, and most likely eventual death anyway, it would have been more acceptable, and carried out in a more humane fashion. Evidently Khashoggi put undeserved faith in his homeland, and paid the ultimate price.

I trust nothing Turkey says.

So, at this point I’m still more inclined to believe Saudi Arabia.

And since the source is CNN, there is no credibility to this, and plenty of axegrinding / agenda / shilling.
