WNU Editor: The outrage has only come from non-Arab states, but in the Arab world governments and the news media (in most cases) have been silent. The above discussion tries to explain it.
Update: There may also be some truth to this .... German Press Reveals Saudi Spook Saga Behind Khashoggi Disappearance (David Goldman, PJ Media).
Well before entering the consulate Mr. Khashoggi long ago went through a door he couldn't come back out.

WNU, the german press seem to miss the whole situation . As someone who live in the mideast and speak arabic , khashoggi death came as a shock to many who are trying to process what happened , he was a fervent royalist until MBS came around , who wanted total obedience and parroting the line , then he went to The US . Even there he continue to defend the saudi house and didn't associate himself with other dissenters , which made the killing even more strange .
ReplyDeleteWe don't know yet it happened. I'm not saying it didn't but I find this consensus so weird that it did and we know for sure. Based on Turkish Intel and because we suddenly trust the turks!? Just odd. But I agree...he went in and never got out - at least no camera captured him leaving
DeleteKashoggi was friends with OBL in the 1980s and 1990s. He only broke with him due to 911.
ReplyDeleteThat might have been a bridge too far, because the US wanted vengeance.
OBL killing 300_ Kenyans and Tanzanians 3 years before evoked no such strain on his relationship. Black Lives Must not Matter or Kashoggi did not fear their wrath.
I guess Kashoggi felt it was okay for OBL to massacre 300+ black people.
Kashoggi is a Muslim Brotherhood Member. How supportive of the crown could Kashoggi have been during any part of his life?
Not very me thinks.
