US official: US intel says prince ordered Khashoggi killing
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. official said Friday. The Saudi government has denied the claim.
The conclusion will bolster efforts in Congress to further punish the close U.S. ally for the killing. The Trump administration this week sanctioned 17 Saudi officials for their alleged role in the killing, but lawmakers have called on the administration to curtail arms sales to
Saudi Arabia or take other harsher punitive measures.
The U.S. official familiar with the intelligence agencies’ conclusion was unauthorized to speak publicly about it and spoke on condition of anonymity. It was first reported by The Washington Post.
Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat has said the crown prince had “absolutely” nothing to do with the killing.
COMMENT:-
"In response to this report, President Trump has announced crushing sanctions - Saudi Arabian royalty will now be required to pay the full 'rack rate' at all Trump hotels and will NOT be allowed to visit either Disneyland or Disneyworld and Saudi Arabia will no longer be able to purchase American weapons (unless they pay for them) - against Saudi Arabia."

Another rumor sourced from unnamed people.
yawn...
Quite right.
After all, you weren't there to personally witness what happened so it would be unsafe to conclude that anything at all had happened.

What is the US's interest in the death of a foreign national, even if he was a reporter?

This event and the US reaction to it carries rich irony and hypocrisy.
We're pitching a big fit over the killing of a journalist, even as we see to it that another journalist will die or be imprisoned for life for telling the truth and exposing the crimes of the US government.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
That's why I don't come to any conclusions.
ho hum. The Saudi's have done much worse than kill Jamal Khashoggi. Khashoggi should have known his actions would have resulten in blowback.

It is hard to imagine that something like this could happen without the expressed consent of at least someone in the royal family, but I am not sure what, exactly, we are supposed to do about it.
And, since Mr. Trump didn't personally witness the Crown Prince giving specific and explicit instructions (in English) to have Mr. Kashoggi tortured, murdered, and dismembered, he will take the same position as you do.
Your support for torture and murder is most heartening.
Tortured and dismembered with no due processThis event and the US reaction to it carries rich irony and hypocrisy.

Tortured and dismembered with no due process
vs
due process and lawfully charged under U.S. law with civil rights, attorneys, etc., no torture or dismemberment.
You think those are rich irony and hypocrisy? Looks like your post is nuts to me.
I believe that it has something to do with "supporting the rule of law".
Your belief that the US shouldn't have done anything about the deaths of foreign nationals would have been almost mainstream in 1939, 1940, and 1941. After all, the Nazis were "only killing Germans and other non-Americans" - right?
He had all the due process afforded to him by Saudi law, a royal decree was issued and this pro taliban, anti Semitic terrorist sympathizer was whacked
Because Saudi due process = U.S. due process?
False equivalency stupidity, doesn't' get old does it?
I don't support either, although I do support enhanced interegation.
The actions of another country does not reflect that of the United States.
Well and declaring war on our allies, and declaring war on us.
