Take that for what it is worth.

How does the apple watch do that without the phone? It can't. Unless it's connected to wifi along with the phone, right?


And I'll need a better source than that article to believe those horrific details.

What is late term abortion (except no bio involvement). If you suspect your country has it out for you, it is better you do not go to the embassy.

All these fine folks have been horrifically killing each other on a grand scale for centuries. Why are we shocked over this one guy? Seems par for the course.

I don't really understand why the great U.S. concern over this alleged assassination by foreign agents.

I am not concluding this, but it sounds a lot like Spy vs Spy to me.

Only Journalists care.

The gory details doesn't make too much sense.. why would they torture and kill him in Ankara? Make a big mess right on the consul's nice table in a nice meeting room, by a 15 strong team including the nation's head pathologist?

Seems to me that it'd be simpler to fly in a small SF team, drugged him there, then whisk him out the back door to the airport and home in that private jet and then do your business there.. kinda weird.

I can't condone murder, but I cannot condone giving Iran and Turkey a victory.

I am looking at the bigger picture of Middle East geopolitics and alliances.

Turkey and Iran don't care one wit about this murder, it's all geopolitics and them regaining influence and power at the expense of the Saudis.

That's a bad thing for the entire world right now.

Let's not hitch our wagon to this murder and change our current policies.

Are you equating abortion with what happened to this journalist?

All the cloak and dagger stuff aside, if you have to flee your country because you pissed off the defacto dictator, probably not a good idea to go to their embassy or consulate to get paperwork.

When I heard this story, that was among my first thoughts. Especially the Saudis, who don't treat dissenters with kid gloves.

I wouldn't. The journalist wasn't a completely innocent, helpless human being. In fact, he was a bit of a radical sympathizer.

Explain why the world cares....

A saudi muslim extremist, goes to turkey, gets killified by other muslim extremists.

He had a green card, so what....
