    To every Arab who believes in democracy, human rights, and human dignity: This is a war. We are at war. Our bodies, lives, and livelihoods are on the line in a direct and real way. There is no space for complacency or compromise. This is war, and it has been since 2011.

    Unlike Bashar Assad who is OK making total denial-of-reality statements about crimes committed by his government, KSA highly values its relationships with Western countries and can’t just insult everyone’s intelligence & move on. Need real explanations & accountability for acts.

    They know that he came in, didn’t come out. They saw unusual personnel activity, including personnel coming to the embassy almost immediately after Khashoggi’s first visit & they speak of an unknown staffer, acting like he was packing stuff into his trunk

    Kaine and have now demanded consequences for Saudi Arabia's likely assassination of inside their consulate in Istanbul. Will other politicians respond, or is murdering journalists not a big deal if you're a strategic US ally?

    This is a most serious charge. I’ve contacted the State Department. We must get to the bottom of what happened and then impose strong consequences. Targeting journalists must stop. …

    The biggest reason why the Arab region is full of dictatorships is foreign support for these dictatorships, in the name of the economy or security or whatever. We are the price. They crush us and then tell us we're not ready for democracy.

    No journalist anywhere in the world who criticizes Saudi Arabia is safe now. This is the monster that the international community created when it swallowed the lies about “reform.”

    CPJ calls on Saudi Arabia to immediately account for the whereabouts of prominent Saudi journalist , who has not been seen since entering the Saudi consulate in on October 2. …

    '15 Saudis, including several officials, arrived in Istanbul on two planes and visited the consulate while Khashoggi was also inside, the sources also added. The Saudis have since all left Turkey.'

    UPDATE: “They know he came in, didn’t come out. They saw uncredentialed personnel, coming to embassy immediately after Khashoggi’s first visit. They think they were dispatched from Riyadh. They speak of an staffer, packing stuff into trunk, and leaving."

    This was recorded 6 months before The Saudi consulate debacle. In it, Jamal Khashoggi gives interesting insights about the events that led to his exile. His vehement support for the Arab spring and touches a little bit on the subject of Muslim Brotherhood:

    Thought experiment: You’re in charge of an authoritarian regime. Previously, your abuses were tempered by credible threats of consequences from the White House. Then, a new president unequivocally praises “strong” dictators & mocks human rights. How would it change your behavior?

    For all those covering the Jamal Khashoggi disappearance, this is also disturbing. The Chinese head of Interpol disappeared in China. Growing trend among authoritarian countries?

    Erdogan advisor Yasin Aktay: • Met Jamal Khashoggi a month ago, he raised concerns about possible Saudi ops against dissidents abroad, but not in Turkey • Khashoggi wasn’t worried about his safety in Turkey • 4 hours after his visit authorities learned that he was missing

    Whatever Jamal's fate is, there's pretty much zero chance the Saudi regime had nothing to do with it. We're hoping against hope he's still alive, but our now-best case is that he was kidnapped by the Saudi regime rather than killed by the Saudi regime.

    Khashoggi has to surface safe and sound, this is the damn 21st century, Ben Barka and Musa Sadr type of thing cannot happen anymore. No amount of PR & spin can erase the infamy of killing ppl just coz one doesn't like what they say.
