and, for its role in this, the U. S. intelligence community . . ."

Specifically, with reference to the intelligence community --too bad the same level of scrutiny, determination are forewarning wasn't extended to Mr. Khashoggi.

Because that IS part of their jobs. In the 80s, they even warned mob boss John Gotti of the threats to his life.

when I read trump amin didn't warn Jamaal Khashoggi.

Wonder if that will ever be investigated? I would imagine the WaPo is on this, though?

Because I can't believe that they didn't intend to warn Khashoggi. That is part of what they do. But I can't help but wonder if this normal protocol got quashed by the WH by trmp/kushner. If it did, then trmp has Jamaal Khashoggi's blood on his tiny little hands.

Oh, I love you, Cha. Yes, the Castro is always ablaze with neon colour at night. All the clubs, the eateries, the street sass.

You're making me homesick again.

Are already coming up with conspiracy theories. “Why didn’t any of the bombs detonate? It must be the Dems who planted them to make US look bad!”

I’ve seen it before, they won’t take responsibility for any of this. Even as they secretly wish that they HAD exploded.
