Khashoggi

This story about Jamal Khashoggi keeps getting worse and worse. This piece in the New York Times describes Khashoggi being dismembered while he was alive--his fingers cut off--and his body chopped into pieces. There's an audio tape, which is obvious by the quotes provided by people who were in the room while he was killed--the doctor who suggested putting on headphones, the 'diplomat' who begged them not to do it in his office, the thug who warned the diplomat he would be killed too if he didn't shut his trap.

When you read these details, and you see and hear the reactions of our president and secretary of state, it makes you sick to your stomach. We are helping Saudi Arabia cover this up.

A torture/murder of a Washington Post journalist who lived in America.

Doesn't get much worse than that.
