Most of the world was reporting Mr. Khashoggi was killed in the Saudi Consulate on October 19,2018, I am wondering how the word allegedly is used in his murder other than an attempt to undermine the reporting surrounding the circumstances of his death. There are numerous web sites that give excellent chronologies of Mr Khashoggi’s disappearance including the multiple stories the Saudi government offered before admitting 18 of its citizens killed the journalist in their consulate on October 2, 2018. All one needs to do is Google “Khashoggi disappearance timeline." This isn’t about journalists in the US and around the world being mean to President Trump. When The President of The United States says on multiple occasions the news media is the “enemy of the people,” despots pay attention. It gives a tacit green light for members of the Saudi Royal family and leaders like Duterte of the Philippines that they can operate outside what used to be the US norms expected by our State Department. The use of the term "democide" in the context used regarding the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki is disingenuous at best. The term was first used in 1994 was first an IU professor to describe pogroms, Armenian genocide by the Turks, Germany’s genocide of the Jewish and Romani population and more recently the Khmer Rouge massacre of political opponents in Cambodia. President Obama ordered the drone attack that killed Anwar al-Awlaki. That was done after it was found Anwar al-Awlaki, who was a militant Islamist who called for a jihad against the United States and had been active in encouraging terrorist activities, including being in contact Nidal malik Hasan. Hasan is the US Army psychiatrist who brought a FN Five seven pistols fitted with 2 laser sights (one red, one green) and multiple magazines into a Fort Hood clinic on November 5, 2009 killed 13 US Army soldiers and wounded 32 more. I think Anwar al-Awlaki's assassination by drone in Yemen was justified. Maybe you are more forgiving and don’t think an attack on US Army soldiers on a US base merits that kind of response. You and I differ on what constitutes an appropriate response. You also failed to note that Donald Trump was President on January 29, 2017 and he ordered the attack that killed Anwar al-Awlaki’s daughter. The idea President Obama was soft on Iran when he approved their money to be returned to the Iranian government ignores the facts. Maybe you forgot, it was never the US government’s money. It was money seized by the US that was in US banks as payment for the purchase of military fighter jets and radar systems ordered by the Shah’s government that were never delivered. The money returned was the same amount that sat in US banks since 1978 without interest. The US didn’t send the Iranian government the jets and radar they ordered. It was never the US government’s money to give and there were no legal grounds to keep the money. Just because we don’t like a government doesn’t mean the US can acquire money without delivering goods according to contracts. I cannot follow the floating numbers of how much US military hardware the Saudis have promised to buy, but do know to date the dollar totals of actual orders and jobs associated with those orders are more than 50% lower than the multiple numbers President Trump has talked about. I do know Saudi Crown Prince Salman creates a dilemma for whoever is President since he can make a decision and the price of oil can double. That will cause the world economy to slow to a snails pace.
