Jamal Khashoggi was a prominent Saudi journalist who was close to the inner circle of the Saudi royal family at one time, but decided to break away from them. There is good reason to believe that he knew all about the Saudi involvement in 9/11 and would have exposed all the culprits (including the Americans). He became critical of the current regime and was told to shut up, but since he disregarded that, he had to be executed.On 2 October this man walks into the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to collect papers that would allow him to marry his Turkish Fiancee and hasn't been seen or heard of since. Yours views please.

Americans in power were not "desperate enough", but they were arrogant enough to ignore (or minimize or dismiss) all the threats from Islam and the Muslims (Sunni and Shia) from 1970 (when Khomeini fired his warning shot) to 2000. They were also arrogant enough to avoid studying the Quran carefully, and seeing that Radical Islam had its roots in the Quran and Saudi Wahhabism, and even *moderate* Muslims would not oppose the Quran. The government and the intelligence agencies were all culpable of gross negligence (and many of treason also).Thats an interesting response. I can buy the Saudi side of the explanation but who are the Americans that were desperate enough to cause such a tragic event and why after all this time are they not in Prison or executed?
