So, the death of the Saudi who wrote for the Washington Post was an "accident" as a result of interrogation? And everybody involved just happened to have an array of suitcases to stuff body parts into just in case questioning went sour?
Of course, we're now learning that torture, suffering and murder were the high points of his "mysterious" disappearance. Nobody deserves that. The story yet evolves.
Our primary question of the moment is: If you're a Saudi subject who calls himself a journalist because he writes a column for the Washington Post, but it also turns out you're one hell of a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood and perhaps other questionable ventures, where does plain old murder and justice merge among brutal Middle East regimes striving for power and obliteration of dissension?
The more we learn about this, um, esteemed WaPo "journalist," the more questions we have about the darker side of the dark side. Natch', the mainstream media won't dwell on anything much beyond the "murdered journalist" aspect.
We don't condone homicide, but nor should this situation put Donald Trump in the political cross hairs of the now-insane Democrat Party and its media accomplices, all desperately looking for a way to throw him out of office. With so much at stake economically for the U.S. and other countries, as we depend upon the Saudis both for military purchases and (not to be overlooked) the Kingdom's dogged determination to destroy factions of Islam which both the U.S. and the Saudis and other Arab states consider enemies, this is a very muddled situation without an easy diplomatic solution. One way or another, the best of the worst will have to be made out of this human train wreck.
