I feel stupid asking this

but what exactly did Khashoggi know that required his murder?

1. It wasn't that he knew things; it was that he was a journalist

who was critical of the Saudi regime.

2. Yes, but

the extreme brutality of the torture and subsequent murder implies, at least to me, that they wanted to get information out of him... otherwise why not just shoot him or something? I can't see that this was a warning to other critics, because they tried to cover it up and hide it.

It's so gruesome and horrid to talk about but it feels bigger than "just" that he was a critic.

7. You don't "just shoot him" if you just want him to suffer. That's totally sufficient an explanation,

as sickening as it may be.

Authoritarians don't live and let live. They don't leave well enough alone. They care not about efficiency, or merely achieving the end with a middling indifference to the means. They stomp and stomp and stomp on your neck. In order to be stomping on your neck, if they decide you deserve it. Just because.

4. He recently called for the end of the war in Yemen

That got him killed

8. Nothing required his murder. trump&co are just flaunting their power now

They are convinced they can do whatever they want and get away with it. So far, that seems to be the case, but I think they overplayed their hand this time. The MSM knows that if this could happen to Khashoggi, it could happen to any of them as well. They're not going to let this go.

IMO, trump exchanged Khashoggi for the evangelical preacher's release. Someone promised Khashoggi that he would be safe. We need to hear more about who promised that and why.

I don't think it ever occurred to any of the conspirators that Khashoggi's disappearance would get so much attention. "He's not even a citizen!!11" That's how stupid they are. SMFH.


Can we all take a moment to  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: at this dumb ass ^^^^^^^   :rotf:

Seems to me that every DU thread should start off "I feel stupid"

Are you saying that he had information that would lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton?  I'm down for believing that, but why would the Saudis do it?  Why wouldn't he off himself in Marcy Park with two rounds to the back of the head like all the others?

Obviously an overachiever...

2 rounds to the back of the head is too easy, he went full professional and hacked himself to pieces instead... :rotf:
