    So, despite reporting yesterday, the story of ’s killing isn’t confirmed yet. Turkish sources weren’t final, and new remarks by Erdogan leave room for other scenarios. So it’s possible indeed that Turkish leaks were meant to get his Saudi kidnappers to produce him.

    My sense (caveat: I’m piecing things together here) is that they have video (a) showing JK go in and not come out, (b) “unusual personnel activity” in the days following JK’s first visit, and (c) an unknown staffer described as “seemingly packing up, moving boxes to his car.”

    Have the same feeling, but probably wishful thinking. Especially that it was leaked rather than officially announced.

    Many people are describing as a "dissident". He *never* described himself as a dissident, or even as an opposition figure. He always stressed he support the Saudi monarchy but wants reform. Listen to Jamal in his own words.

    We spoke to Jamal Khashoggi a few months ago, and he explained why he had to leave Saudi Arabia. Now he's missing. …

    Gaddafi is the only close analogy to this. Unbelievable!

    If the news are true, and the Saudi regime lured into one of their consulates to murder him, then the world should do what it failed to do after the Canada-Saudi spat - break ties with the Saudi regime and render it the pariah regime that it deserves to…

    Turkey follows the US in (re-)defining its condition for an exit from Syria, pegging it to a political settlement through election. Erdogan says his troops will hand over areas to Syrians after elections are held.

    US/Syria updates: • US diplomacy over the past few days seems to be stopping what was an imminent regime/Russian offensive in Idlib • Trump approves an indefinite stay in Syria, until Iran leaves &…
