^ EXACTLY! I'VE CONSIDERED THAT HE, A LONGTIME PLAYER IN THE GAME, COMMITTED POLITICAL SUICIDE TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL OF PERMANENTLY EMBARRASSING THE PRINCE AND SHOWING HIM UP. HE HAD TO HAVE KNOWN AND CONSIDERED ALL THE SCENARIOS AND OUTCOMES BEFORE ENTERING THE CONSULATE...

So the answer is: Murder him, dismember the body and dispose of it?

Depends on the question you ask.

In that world which he lived in, I guess so.


The disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018, and was never seen leaving it, is a trending topic in the Arabic press, particularly the Saudi press. Khashoggi, whom some Turkish elements surmise was murdered by the Saudis inside the consulate, is a veteran Saudi journalist well known in the Arab world, especially for his criticism of the Saudi regime and his support for the Muslim Brotherhood. In the past year Khashoggi even moved to the U.S. in fear for his life, and began writing a Washington Post column; in it, he was harshly critical of Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman.

Saudi Arabia has blamed the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi on a "rogue operation", giving a new account of an act that sparked a global outcry.

Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told Fox News "the murder" had been a "tremendous mistake" and denied the powerful crown prince had ordered it.

I still wonder why the killing of heads of states is considered as a no-no. Would spare humanity a lot of killing, bribery, blackmailing and nonsense.

Did you see this little story in the news?

https://www.businessinsider.com/saud...report-2018-10

Saudi agents reportedly stripped Khashoggi's body and walked out of the consulate wearing his clothes after killing him

Quote:
Surveillance footage CNN published Monday appears to show a man dressed in the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's clothes leaving the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul and walking around the city on the day Khashoggi disappeared.
The man, identified by Turkish officials as Mustafa al-Madani, apparently wore a fake beard and glasses that made him look more like the journalist.
He is one of 15 suspects Turkish investigators have said were dispatched from Saudi Arabia to Istanbul to confront Khashoggi.

That was probably also an accident by rogue people.

There seems to be a lot of them running around recently.
