A lot of good stuff written here and echo my sentiments. In Islamic regimes and at times elsewhere, full democracy breeds terror.

Remember the arab spring eh? or the syrian revolution, they create vacuums for terror.

Saudi's would do well to ease up on things like women's rights, but terror is all that keeps egypt and Saudi Arabia in check

This whole thing is another reason why trust in the media is at an all time low. If they would have been honest from the beginning and said
You don't deserve to die based on your political leanings.
99% of people would agree.

Instead they made him into a "democracy and human rights advocate" while ignoring stuff like this;

The media had this one pegged right the whole time.

I won't shed tears for the guy, but did he deserve to be murdered?

No.

My comment was solely about the media dishonesty in covering this story.

The media are upset about what happened to one of their own. Unsurprising. We see the same here all the time.

The same people who don't want mulLer should finish his investigation any time soon wanted the investigation of Jamal Khashoggi's Murder should be finished ASAP. FUNNY?

I don’t thing it’s so clear cut. While he certainly wasn’t a terrorist with actual blood on his hands, is that the dividing line? What about an influential personality who incites the Palestinians with claims that the Israelis stole their land, invented a historical connection to Palestine, and are perpetrating a 9/11 on the Palestinian people. Such vitriol is not harmless; it can easily do much of the work for Hamas, Hezbolla, etc. and lead to the murder of innocent people as has happened repeatedly in the past. Does someone get a free pass because he’s not the one actually wearing the explosives belt on the egged bus?

 Do I think that the mossaad should put every inciter on a hit list? Of course not. But if his expressed views were indeed inciting people to violence (and that is something that can be debated) I would have a hard time saying he absolutely didn’t deserve to die, though I have no sympathy for the Saudis and their barbaric methods...

And those saying he absolutely didn’t deserve to die; is that an Acquittal by judge and jury? I’m not saying he definitely did; just that it’s not clear cut and unequivocal.
