Hi @aliShihabi please don't use my article condemning the killing of journalists by governments *other* that Saudi Arabia to try and mount a "whataboutism" defence of MBS and the Saudi government's murder of a man you once called your friend. #Khashoggihttps://twitter.com/aliShihabi/status/1055809095536648193 …

Sigh. Of course I stick by it, but you don't understand what whataboutism is. I condemn the US *and* Saudi governments for killing journos and then trying to cover it up. You condemn the US in order to deflect from the Saudis. Will you condemn MBS over Jamal? I'll be here waiting
-
I condemn whomever ordered and undertook that disgusting murder. When you have concrete proof it's MBS pls give me a call otherwise keep quiet on an unsubstantiated allegation. History is full of agencies going rogue (bay of pigs and read the Church hearings in the 1970's on CIA)
-
Meanwhile, there are thousands of cases where intel agencies DIDN’T go rogue. Btw, who controls Saudi intel-defense-Economy and practically all key agencies again?
-
Same in Saudi but some cases clearly go beyond their mandate as happened everywhere. Whoever "controls" everything does not mean is a maestro that can micromanage everything, particularly in intelligence whose principles are in the deception business to start with.
-
It takes the height of incompetence to fail intercepting so many rogue elements from so many branches, including royal court. No wonder Yemen is a total humanitarian disaster and military failure... the list goes on.

Shihabi you should have stuck to being a failed investor/banker at Rasmalla because you are the worst paid-for Washington lobbyist. A real embarrassment. You are good at making your client look worse and in this case real guilty
