Davkaus Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm surprised Turkey have openly stated they had recordings of this. They're admitting they've bugged an embassy? Regardless, SA will continue to act with completely impunity. These words removed got away with funding 9/11 and ISIS, so what's a single murder, eh? If ever a country should be a target for regime change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more plausibly, the US and Turkey trying to pretend they weren't really bugging the embassy by putting out a story that some people will believe, while still revealing (or more accurately, suggesting) what happened.

There are many nations where journalists are murdered for opposing, or printing criticism of, or corruption of leaders etc. It mostly, sadly, goes little remarked upon. China, Russia, N.Korea, Iran, KSA, Syria, Turkey, Bulgaria, Mexico, India, Pakistan and more. Yet this time KSA does it and it’s covered in more detail, though perhaps more as a “mystery interest” thing than a murder of a critic. And as the Twitter says, KSA does other, worse, things and the media and the world sort of shrugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted October 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2018 Part of the reason this has been picked up by the media is Khasshogi's background i think. He lived in the US, had done work with many Western news outlets, and was currently working with the Washington Post. He's not just a nobody who is critical of some backwards country halfway round the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
