This guy was played up in the media like forever whereas those guys murdered in Benghazi thanks to Hillary and 0bama got scant press coverage. Where was the outrage over them?

[Paladin2]

For all we know the guy was CIA.

Indeed, I am having trouble caring at all what the ideological, in-bred and violent Saudis did to another Saudi political opponent.

Yet the response from the US Government, and indeed Trump’s Administration, is that it matters - a lot.

All it demonstrates to me is that the ideological, in-bred, and violent Saudis have far too much influence and effect within our ruling circles.

He’s dead Jim

He’s a casalty of war. A Loser

No matter how much Jamal Khoshoggi is brought up I just can’t seem to come up with a micro gram of I give a F-—!

[Stepan12]

It is hard for me to weep over this enemy of America and pal of bin Laden. Just the sort of creep that the Washington comPost would hire.

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

So essentially he was a “rogue” Saudi agent working against their interests, they offered him a safe quiet comfortable landing which he refused, and then they took him out.

I don’t care (much) how the Saudis handle their own problems....

[jospehm20]

The author is involved in spygate. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he’s CIA. I would not believe anything that he says. Still cannot make myself give a damn about a muslim brotherhood WaPo contributor being whacked.

Among the many character flaws among the press, one is their notion that everything is about them. This incident had nothing to do with the press or their freedom of speech. This guy used his position at the Washington Post as a cover, and you have to wonder if the Post knew that he was a major Muslim Brotherhood operative. I suspect that the Post knew that and much more. They were an enabler for Khashoggi, The Muslim Brotherhood and the Turks, Note that all three are enemies of the United States.

Khashoggi was playing a high stakes game and he lost. The Saudi’s were guilty of their ham fisted actions. The made the Russians look like pros.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Good. I’m glad he’s dead. Hope it hurt. Bad.

[Lizavetta]

It amazes me how extensive the coverage has been for the death of a single journalist versus the death of 15 girls in Saudi Arabia fleeing a burning building who were forced back into the flames because they weren't "properly covered."

Was that covered round the clock by the press and I just wasn't paying attention?

[bray]

He knew the rules in the ME and broke them. The mediots simply used him as a club.

[Salvavida]

For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain.

He got Romaned. Romans 13:3-5 that is.

[Capt. Tom]

My intelligence sources tell me he had worked as an intelligence agent for the Saudi intelligence service, GID, for around 20 years. At one point he was sent by GID to Sudan to meet Osama bin Laden and to try to lure him away from terrorism.

I don't believe this, since bin Laden was doing what the Saudis want done.
They are both Islamic fundamentalists who work against us Kafirs,(Infidels) -Tom

Politics are pretty murky in the Middle East now, as they were in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s.

It's just as likely that somebody was playing both sides of the street, or trying to keep a foot in several camps, as that they had a clear agenda.

[GOPJ]

So Jamal Khashoggi – a former Saudi intelligence agent, a man who was close to the Muslim Brotherhood and a sworn opponent of MBS' reform program– was in the process of setting up a centre to promote the ideology of the MB.

I'll care about Khashoggi's death the exact second someone at the Washington Post gives a damn about the hundreds of Americans murdered by illegals. (Oh and the percent of American journalists murdered is lower than the world's average... so why should we care?)

Same excuse 'journalists' give when asked why they don't give a damn about illegls murdering us)

The secret intelligence of the Saudis as do our CIA know how to kill effectively with no trace. If they wanted him dead by order of the king (actually not a bad idea) it would not have been done in the embassy. I do not know why he was killed there but it sure as hell was not by orders of the Saudi King, he is not stupid.

If he did order his death, it would be the one bullet to the head by a very skilled agent that would not be caught. It would take a little time and patience but one skilled person could do this easily.

This whole thing seems to be an effort to discredit the Saudi King and make him a pariah. He is pro western and is slowly liberalizing Saudi. The Wahhabis hate this. There is a Wahhabi in the center of this.

[rockinqsranch]

“Jamal Khashoggi was a player, not a bleeding heart liberal”

I believe he was Muslim Brotherhood, therefore incredibly not credible.

[litehaus]

Amazing that ‘the journos’ treat him as 1 of thier own when he was just another politician from Saudi Arabia....

BTW, anyone heard the term ‘Hashemite scum’ lately ?
