    I agree, we should have leveled Riyadh.

    He paid U.S. taxes.

    The taxes went amount other things to pay FBI salaries.

    He deserves an FBI investigation.

    He was a Citizen of Saudi Arabia, not the United States. They have the upper hand on his fate. Not to mention, this took place in Turkey, not on any US soil.

    You also ignored my other questions.

    He had applied for U.S. citizenship, was a resident of Virginia and has two U.S. born naturalized children living in the U.S.

    That may be so, but he's a citizen of Saudi Arabia, and this happened in Turkey, attacked by his own citizens.

    As I keep saying, we should have cut all ties with KSA years ago.

    But this isn't our fight. This is between Turkey and KSA. If you ask me, they both should burn.

    Their #1 hero (the Islamic prophet) was a brutal torturer, so of course Muslims are ok with torture (I've asked them, and they can't condemn Mohammad/Allah for approving of brutal torture, in this life, or the "afterlife") - so no surprise that this guy was brutally tortured by the keepers of the Islamic holy place - being cut up while still alive even. Ask the Sikhs about Muslim barbarity/torture towards the Sikh gurus - it will make your stomach turn.

    The Islamic prophet, in the Islamic texts, had a Jewish treasurer burned alive (a fire was started on his chest)....so their role model is the real underlying problem, of course. If their role model had been a Modern Secular Humanist, then 99% of Muslim torture would cease.
    Christians are no more ethical than Muslims, however - their God/Jesus will see that the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, etc. (any non-Christian) will get barbarically tortured in God/Jesus' "lake of fire", for eternity. Barbaric, for sure. Shame, shame on them.

    Exactly. The two stories are diabolically opposed. These Arabs are lying through their gold teeth. Habeas Corpus. They can stick their oil and the $B110 deal is off. Far kem.

    Nobody is ever going to cut ties with Saudi Arabia. The Saudi money is embedded in just about every country, every government, every corporation and every industry around the world.

    So you think a king (in this case a crown prince) has the divine right to murder a resident (in this case a subject)?

    I am guessing you have not read the Magna Carta lately.

    King John. A.D. 1505. It was on the test back in 9th Grade World History.

    That's all known, too easy and not challenging. All cliches: money in the power, power in the money, gangstas paradise, blah blah...
    But imagine the dude is alive. What differences would this information make on the political order of the region and of the world, 1) had it been managed to kept as a secret, and 2) had it somehow gotten released to public a) anytime soon b) much later in life? Benefitor and worse off countries in each case? What would then the pattern be? How would the order be retouched?

    Saudi Arabia is a major US ally

    It would be a big mistake to break that relationionship over a muslim brotherhood sympathizer
