Liz, yes, I have a job. I also had a good friend come to the US who asked for help. From me. As his friend of 15 years. Our exchanges were our personal views, always. Given how we met & the time I’ve spent in/on Saudi supporting great people & orgs, this is particularly surreal.
Worryingly, an executive for the Qatar Foundation helped Jamal Khashoggi write some of his columns and the @washingtonpost didn't know. This & other new details in this great piece by @smekhennet & @gregpmillerhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/jamal-khashoggis-final-months-an-exile-in-the-long-shadow-of-saudi-arabia/2018/12/21/d6fc68c2-0476-11e9-b6a9-0aa5c2fcc9e4_story.html?utm_term=.6d2269701301 …

I realize this was probably just an act of friendship, but it’s a journalistic no-no. All the people who contributed to articles should be fully identified. And this is why we are not allowed to share our articles before they are published.

In medicine ghost writing is a major offense! The damage done to many free thinking journalists by this is irreparable, confirms the belief in the ME that Regimes buy journos in Washington...poor Khashoggi,now not only killed,but tarnished forever in the Arab world.

It's not Khashoggi the one to blame, it's WaPo who neglected to verify the author of columns because it fits the narrative they want to promote.
@KarenAttiah admitted she helped him write his columns, no brainer, she definitely knew@magsmitchell was behind the writings too.. End of conversation

As I have said many times, Saudi is evil but dumb, Qatar is evil but smart. Qatar outplaying you all.https://twitter.com/bbassem7/status/970382293029154816?s=21 …

Can't be stated enough times. Suadi is a big punching bag these days, the writiting is on the wall: but Qatar has become the center for sponsoring Islamist extremism as Saudi has declined over the last decade.

Why is this worrisome? He wrote *opinion pieces*.
-
Because he wasn't a 'journalist', he was an agent of a foreign government, placing their propaganda pieces in WAPO as his own work.
-
He was more a journalist than a foreign agent.
-
No. He was a Muslim Brotherhood operative.

"and the
@washingtonpost didn't know" LOL. The hand wringers at the#WaPo act like they know everything else, including what is best for the over 300 million of us outside the#Beltway, yet they can't manage their own office.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Mohammed al houthi wrote a column and the Washington post published it! al houthi flag says death to the US (see pic) and seems like WaPo is fine with that, this is brought to you by the one and only
@KarenAttiah, WaPo sold their integrity long time ago to the likes of Qatar.pic.twitter.com/eyI8eAMEcP

How can you not know that he is a long time operative for the Muslim Brotherhood? His turkish wife is involved with the islamist IHD in Turkey.

The reason Khashoggi was murdered, is because he was in the losing faction of a struggle for power in Saudi Arabia, not because he was some shining light of journalistic integrity serving the public interest. His views mostly matched those of the Saudi hardline Wahhabis.
