Saudi journalist disappears in embassy, believed murdered

[fagin]

Apparently, the bone saw was scanned at the airport. Just sayin'.

Also, this seems unprofessional only compared to TV movies and film. Istanbul doesn't have alligators, crocodiles or pigs(not sure about this one) to feed the body parts to.

Could have made some tasty kebabs though.

Body parts of Jamal Khashoggi have been found in the garden of the Saudi Consul General's home, @AlexCrawfordSky is reporting from Istanbul.​

Looks like it might have been suicide.

Looks like it might have been suicide.

Probably cut off his own limbs when trying to do up his coat, the zip must have got stuck, could happen to anyone.

I can see where it might take 15 dudes to convince someone that this is a good idea, as opposed perhaps to leaving the coat open.

Looks like it might have been suicide.

Or an accident?

Like when the Archbishop of Canterbury fell backwards on to the spire of Norwich Cathedral, or the one that was killed by a falling gargoyle while swimming of Beachy Head.

At least it wasn't his trouser fly.

It sounds like a bizzare gardening accident to me.

 

[Giordano]

it's like the classical mob boss telling a henchman: "Hey, our competitor needs to have an accident, if you know what I mean..."

Mitchell and Web did a skit on this.

Like Leslie Tiller?

Be thankful you're not in Saudi Arabia, where satirical remarks online could get you five years https://www.newsweek.com/saudi-arabia-will-now-punish-online-satire-five-year-jail-term-1105950

It does seem a bit early for some of the macabre attempts at humor here.

But if you think the humor is appropriate, carry on.

Macabre humor is the best kind. Hey, I even laugh at cancer patients. I have my own reasons to do so.

Dear Leader critiques the quality of the Saudi cover-up:

Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump skewered the Saudis, saying, “They had a very bad original concept, it was carried out poorly, and the coverup was the worst in the history of coverups.”

"...but we're still going to sell them billions of dollars worth of guns, tanks and rockets. Because what could go wrong?"

Trump: "It was carried out poorly"

what the hell is that supposed to mean?

Trump: "It was carried out poorly"

It's a three strikes thing. Had it been a good original concept but carried out badly and with a good final coverup that would have been, in Trump's eyes, a little bit better.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Trump: "It was carried out poorly"

what the hell is that supposed to mean?

It means that he is offering the services of the CIA for future assassinations - for the right price.

“I do the best coverups. No one does coverups like me.”

I agree

The cover-up was so bad, that it took all of five minutes on the phone last week for Trump to say (paraphrasing) "He said very strongly that they didn't do it, and I believe him"

Douche.
