Still Missing Turkey - Jamal Khashoggi, 59, Washington Post columnist, Istanbul, 3 Oct 2018

I concur with your comments. I don't think there any mistaking that Saudi is taking no responsibility whatsoever for this, nor are they promoting an honest open investigation.

This seems very inappropriate and confirms they are only interested in the economic effects.

MBS seems to think he can get away with this.

So far, he’s right.

Seems like all of the leaders except the leader of the USA are desperate for another war.

I see international support for an open investigation.

I think we probably need to keep political comments out of this

That's fine - we can have different opinions. And my comment was not political in the least. I abhor warmongers.

I agree that politics are probably best left for another day as the goal is to find out what has happened to JK. I searched again this afternoon for more high level calls and just found UK, France and Germany asking for cooperation between SA and Turkey to investigate the case. I will keep searching and post any updates. The sound of silence from the Gulf and Levant countries is deafening at this point which is profoundly disappointing IMO.

The silence is truly deafening.

The silence is truly deafening.

I completely agree! Deafening!

If, as reported earlier, US intelligence had information that Saudi Arabia was planning to lure JK back to his country, the next closest thing to doing that would be to lure him to their embassy. What do we know about the fiancé? <modsnip - not victim friendly>

How can you possibly be allowing a thorough investigation when you admit to bringing in your own “cleaning squad”’?

It just boggles the mind
