Return to “Turkey: Saudi journalist last seen at Saudi consulate in Turkey”
This may shock you, but I care less that a bunch of foreign barbarians killed a foreign barbarian supporter in a foreign country than I do about illegal alien foreign barbarians here in America killing Americans. A lot less.

How many other Saudi citizens are killed in Saudi Arabia every day? Who knows. He was a reporter for the Washington Post so we have to care. We deal with ruthless governments every day, innocents are killed by their government and we don't get involved. We open an embassy in Cuba. The reality of the world is that governments do send hit squads out to kill people and I am sure we do it too, but quietly. Let's see how this plays out but you don't cut your nose off to spite your face. Saudi Arabia is too important to us to lose them.
Especially when the Saudi citizen was a cohort of Osama Bin Laden. That he allegedly was reporter for the Washington Swamp Post reduces my give a care to negative numbers.
