Clearly the guy had to have been a CIA asset and manipulating various Saudi factions. This idea that we should be upset that some Saudi prince killed one of his own subjects that was likely playing against factions of the Saudi government because he was a "journalist" is as ludicrous as the idea that Ansar Al Sharia attacked the US Special Mission/Consulate in Benghazi because of an anti-Islam video on YouTube.
Why do they need the rest of us to be outraged when their own skullduggery results in one of their assets getting killed?
Yes. So what? They cut people's hands off for theft. That doesn't bother anybody, but when a likely CIA asset with ties to establishment leftists gets butchered, we're supposed to unite and condemn Saudi Arabian princes in unison? Really?
Well, the whole thing is ludicrous. Nobody believes journalists are anything but spies. Honestly? Who the hell gets hot and bothered when a journalist bites the dust? Even those ridiculous movies about some soldiers in a hot zone running to the rescue of an abducted journalist are difficult to swallow. Nobody in their right mind is going to get five highly trained soldiers killed to rescue one errant journalist. It's only done when the journalist (read spy) was put in harm's way by the government to collect intel. I wish they would come up with a new lie to tell just for the sake of novelty.
They record everything to the point of it being ludicrous. I remember as a kid when the US used to condemn the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries for spying on their own citizens. Our country is far worse than the communists ever were. Let's face it. We're ruled by a bunch of arrogant jackasses.
