@w7voa He’s not lying. That murder and dismemberment of a US journalist, lured into the Saudi embassy in Istanbul and carried out piecewise in suitcases, it did happen.

Which is not the same as it being allright, and shame to insinuate it is, and quadruply so for Khashoggi’s colleagues holding their tongues. Collectively.

@w7voa that tracks. The man who thought one VoA journalist needed to be silenced forever isn’t being condemned by the one who thought they all should be.
