Like what? Should we assign him a taxpayer-financed security detail?

It's a tad late for that, it appears.

I would say that he deserves better from his native country. I dont know all the details of his capture or the why and honestly dont care. I care that some seem to feel that it is the job of the USA to play world cop.

This guys dream is to destabilize the ME and Iran and leave SA in control: https://www.commentarymagazine.com/f...-saudi-arabia/

Now the tactics they used here have so many falsities it's incomprehensible. First they claim Khashoggi had pro-Hamas friends. ok. That also means SA is pro-Hamas because Khashoggi was an insider close to the royal family.

Then he says Khashoggi was a terrorist for fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan. What's the problem, those same terrorists (along with OBL) where funded by Reagan, the great American patriot.

Everywhere you turn these neo-conservative psychopaths who hide themselves as intelligent individuals like Shapiro, Shohrab, Rothman, etc. are just dedicated to war and death.

They say we need SA to fight Iran, but then they are conceding the fight with Iran is not a moral one (evil Iran, good America). These falsities keep going and yet somehow these people don't even blink when they say it.
Essentially, these rightists are jumping onto Saudi Arabia's bandwagon, because Trump is doing so. They are so unable to function as normal, self-directing people, that they will let a moron like him, lead them to destruction.

Playing world cop is backing scum like the Saudis in the silly belief they'll have our back when needed and are necessary in our beefs with Iran. Let the countries of the ME solve their own damn problems and don't allow scum like the Saudis to literally get away with murder because they spend $$$. Either that or admit the US is no shining light of morality and ethics in the world.

I have no desire to herd camels in the desert nor kill gays. Your premise is the height of stupidity.
