      First, Saudi *did* commit a once-in-a-century crime. Can you name another country that lured a dissident into its consulate, killed him inside the premises, disposed of the body, & lied about it? Second, the onus is on you to show that the outrage of your critics is “selective.”https://twitter.com/aliShihabi/status/1055234498475053063 …

      My point is perspective so that people don't behave as if Saudi has committed a once in a century crime. It is a horrible crime but others have done worse so a bit of humility for everybody. Let's condemn all such crimes when they occur in equal measure. No selective outrage.

      Others have committed worse crimes. Shooting medics, torturing detainees, renditions of innocent people to foreign dungeons. Everybody's humanity counts not just those that suit you.

          I dont think I am self righteous - I am appalled by both incidents. Rainbow was 33 years ago - today the case of Mr. Khashoggi

          What everyone is forgetting in this case is that there is only one official story; a team was sent to convince Khashoggi to come back and things went out of hand that lead to a tragic event. There is no other official story.

          #Erdogan , @POTUS , @theresa_may , #Macron next to major media have been saying for the last couple of days: Saudi story is not reliable (it's a lie) just because the incident was planned and it's detailed. Nobody is forgetting anything. Some people though are very selective!

          May be and may be not. There is no other official story. Just because you don’t like the Saudi story does not necessarily mean that it is a lie!

          That's what I meant; very selective. You can't choose what to believe when facts are clear, and that's exactly the message of the western leaders and media. A team of 15 with logistics, tools and plan can't happen organically rather than planned and in details.

          There are no facts other than what the Saudi and Turkish authorities have revealed. Everything else is mere speculation not to say fabrication particularly the “tools” part. Repeating false news won’t make them a fact

          If you're saying "there's only one official story" and then "there are no facts", so what's the investigations of #Saudi and #Turkey authorities? They aren't going to reveal lies, are they?

          I believe I am clear enough. So far, and until the investigations reveal anything else, there is only one official story.

          Even the Turkish authorities did not provide a different story. So all the media hype (including the saw and chipping the body) is merely speculation which may (and may not) be true.

          Actually agree with Ali on this. Plenty of states have used their embassies for awful things, it’s just the Saudi coverup was so grossly amateur and done in an era of social media, targeting well connected journalist.
