it was a woodchipper accident. on top of everything, he lied about being an expert on woodchippers and he fatally wounded himself.

CNN: Saudis preparing to admit journalist was killed
- Thread starter Dalek
- Start date
There is official word that Khashoggi gave his phone to fiancee upon entering the consulate, and told her if he doesn't come out within a specific time frame that she has to call a Turkish official that would handle this matter.
Given that he knew he could possibly never come out, this "accident" bullshit doesn't fly.

Naah, more like : " Could you guys be more cautious next time please ? "
Accidentally killing a regime critic sounds like a pretty impressive magic trick. You end up with one less thorn in your eye with none of that pesky accountability nonsense.
Also, I'm pretty sure the Saudis did this because they saw how easily the Russians got away with poisoning Skripal with Trump in office.

The Saudis got away with 9/11 as well. They have a total grasp on America.
If this is just a lazy cover like that, I doubt it will do much good in the long run. MBS has proven so far he is a reckless fool who doesn't think about the consequences of his actions, just assumes that the world will bend over backwards to give him what he wants. If a highly respected, and actually loyal journalist like Khashoggi was outright murdered, then he will be far less careful with other critics, at home and abroad. I fear the bodies will just keep pilling up from here on out.
So why isn't the thread title:
CNN: Saudis preparing to admit journalist was "killed".
Because this whole killing him by accident is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.
Did they get to the bottom of that cleaning crew being allowed in the building before the investigators showed up, or no?

Indeed. Anime told me so.
Can't wait for the press release
"We meant to kidnap and torture him, but we didn't mean to kill him."
"Ohhh, ok cool. Try to not let then die next time. kthanksbye."
Woops, the 15 people we sent to Turkey for one day accidentally killed him and then he fell on a bonesaw one of our guys always carries around. Our bad..
Whom of us hasn't had at least one bone saw episode? Come on, people!
You see, funny thing is, just before his accident he wanted to be cremated. Pinky swear.
"No, he wasn't garroted! He tripped and fell onto it" "We don't know what happened to the body though"
The Final Destination movies have proved to me that this is indeed possible.
Slipped on water from a running faucet. On the way down, tie got caught on the cabinet hinge, which strangled him. He struggled to gain his footing, grasping everywhere for support, slips & pulls open a drawer which sends the knife flying which stabs him. He's still alive though. Then he slips on a bunch of silverware, bumping the cabinet in front of him, the gun he keeps in there drops, goes off and shoots him in the head.
*cue bad guys backing out of the room slowly*
I wouldn't be surprised if all or most of the rich countries actually do this and we never find out. I think it's just that they've been caught red-handed and everybody is jumping on it.
If there is any truth to the "interrogation gone wrong" comment, I don't think they can't possibly make anything up that will convince anybody. They wanted to hurt him and they murdered him, no matter whether it was accidentally, a screw-up or a completely deliberate crime.

This is 100% going to be the response. It's almost as if Universal Human Rights aren't Universal at all.
Oh, without a doubt. Trump already gave himself multiple reasons for not doing anything about it:
-Rogue killers did it.
-Saudi King said he doesn't know anything about it.
-He's not a US citizen.
-It didn't happen on US soil.
-He doesn't want to lose US jobs by doing anything that'd stop the weapons sales to the Saudis
-Accidental whoopsie daisy death.
Most likely reason, it'd end whatever personal profit he makes from his ties with the Saudis in general.

Yeah and like 9/11 we're just gonna ignore any connections the killers have to the regime and just accept it was done by what ever scapegoats they drag forward.
Don't lie fam, we've all done it at some point! /s
Also: US won't do shit, they are too busy counting $$$. Remember that time the US voted against a UN resolution against executing gay people for having consensuel intercourse?
If SA produces a statement about the accidental death of the journalist it will not surpise me if we learn about how 15 SA civil servants very sadly accidentally brutally scorched themselves to ashes while smoking.
I really don't understand why they'd even admit it.
It's not like they're on trial and getting a plea bargain from the West. They'll face sanctions either way. And I'm sure Trump would be perfectly satisfied if they just continue to deny and maybe do a sham internal investigation that shows they didn't do anything. Now he's forced to address it.

LOL. The same Obama who gave the Saudis the go ahead to commit all the humanitarian atrocities in Yemen.
Yeah officials did say from what iirc that there was proof so wouldnt be surprised if they're trying to get ahead of the story
If this is against the TOS then feel free to remove it, but there is an Activist by the name of Iyad El-Baghdadi who has been campaigning and publicizing all the atrocities Saudi Arabia and other dictatorships around the Mediterranean/Middle East are scheming and committing. He's doing all he can to get the word out and lobby for justice on Jamal Kashoggi and is making an appeal for some financial help as spending all his time on this. He also has a podcast called Arab Tyrant Manual that I recommend to people to get a glimpse of his work.
Glen Greenwald on twitter made a decent point. This excuse is bullshit. You know it and the Saudi's know you know it. This isnt for you though. This is so that everyone can go back to the status quo after this without being raked over the coals.
Fucking lol.
Obama sat with his thumb up his ass while the Saudi started a conflict that is estimated to starve 14 million people this year. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-38767874
Actually let me correct that, he helped the Saudis to accomplish that.
