Bluetooth in motorcycle helmets reaches well over a quarter mile now.
That sounds very cool, I will have to look into that, thanks.
I didn’t realize he wasn’t an American. My mistake...
Lots of people are murdered every day unfairly - and in a cruel fashion - can’t go to war over each of them...
No, he was at the embassy to get a writ of divorce from his Saudi wife so he could marry his current concubine.
That makes it the business of the US, which will have words with the country whose embassy he was in.
Well, no. It does not.
If he was just killed in a barroom brawl, unconnected to his duties at Apple, then it is no longer America’s business.
And that is partly why it is none of America's business. His being at the Saudi embassy had nothing to do with his job. It had to do with his genitals.
So why again are people having a hissy over this?
Not our citizen.
Not our country.
Not doing business for his employer.
And an avowed enemy of the US.
And why is it that I know these things why I could not give a flip about the guy and people who are wailing over him don't?
You are being emotionally manipulated and I am appealing to you to stop emoting and return to logic and reason.
We didn't have half this amount of outrage over Nick Burg.
And that actually happened.
This? Who knows.
The Turks say he was murdered. The Saudis say he left.
I have no idea who is telling the truth and really don't care.
Not my circus, not my monkey.
“And that is partly why it is none of America’s business. His being at the Saudi embassy had nothing to do with his job. It had to do with his genitals.”
In that case, screw him. But Donald seems to feel it’s his business.
I'm assuming the watch was linked to his phone; which they did NOT have possession of.
So was THIS guy!
Even if the Apple watch were transmitting a cell call to the iPhone, and the iPhone were somehow able to record the conversation, how long would the connection last? With the tiny battery in the watch, it's likely measured in minutes, not hours.
I'm with you - I thought the guy was an American considering the freak-out the press was doing.
He's not an American citizen?
Then we write a letter saying, "that's not very nice of you to kill someone - look into it and write us back" and we move on.
Lots of deaths in the world that are NOT fair or decent or kind - and we're NOT going to go to war over any of them...(if we're sane) and we should not over this one ether. I mean (in my best Hillary voice) 'at this point what difference does it make') - which really does apply when we're taking about deaths and murders OUTSIDE of the area known as 'our business...'
From last night.

On second thought, it still is the US’ business. The goons that killed him and chopped him up weren’t doing it on behalf of his jilted ex. They were following the orders of either KSA or AlQaeda or some other party, and they weren’t doing it because he was remarrying, but because the aggrieved potentate who sent the goons had a problem with what he was writing in WaPo. So this is an assassination for political purposes, carried out under the cover of a diplomatic compound. It’s a matter of deterring assassinations of journalists, and protecting foreign employees of American companies from assassination. Sorry, Teddy. But I’d love to not give a flying f@#$, but I’m afraid this is a matter of concern for the US, for first amendment, US sovereignty, making it safe for people to work for US companies to travel abroad on assignment, and other such frabajaba. That it had to be an employee of WaPo just makes it hurt more. What Trump decides to do about it is another question.
But by all means go to war over a guy that is an enemy of your own country because of some principle that even you don't believe.
Just don't expect people who are not hyped up on LSD to think you are anything but insane.
Who said ANYTHING about going to WAR? Yeah. WaPo should screen their employees more carefully. Maybe the CIA and FBI should investigate WaPo’s hiring practices...no, wait. They hire lots of former intelligence operatives, too.
But a journalist working for an American paper on a story should be safe from being murdered and dismembered when he enters his own country’s embassy. That’s a pretty good principle.
So you impose sanctions of some sort or another. There’s a lot that can be done short of war, especially since the US no longer needs Saudi oil. So how about imposing tariffs on petrolium-based imports from KSA, including crude, plastic, and sweet crude. Trump would like that. You can still do the big arms deal with them, and you punished them for murdering a journalist, IF KSA was the one who actually did it. End of story. No war.
He wasn't working on a story. And I do not care if he occasionally wrote an anti-american screed that was lovingly printed by Bezos and co. That does not entitle him to anything but a paycheck from them.
Not our monkey.
In any case he was there on his own private business. And sorry but I tend not to believe any of the stories about this floated by the MB and their pals in Turkey.
I am not even convinced that the alleged victim is actually dead.
That’s a pretty good principle.
There is no principle!
You keep on making up stuff that did not happen. Why on earth do you keep wanting to drag us into this fairy tale?
Of all the things in the world to cause an issue with the Saudis this has got to be one of the lamest I have ever heard.

The Washington Compost employs no ‘journalists.’
Propagandist is the appropriate term.
