So, an elite Saudi hit squad is dispatched in two aircraft at different times to later ambush Khashoggi in the Consulate, and Khashoggi is wearing an Apple watch. Yet the elite hitmen don’t notice, or otherwise fail to recover it, and it falls into the hands of the Turks.
The stories being leaked by the Turks are getting increasingly implausible.
I’m sure the Saudis are up to no good but I don’t think the Turks are helping themselves.
A heavy beer drinker in teens and 20s either slows down or evolves to be a heavy liquor drinker latter in life… especially given the company,Kav keeps. Based on his complexion, I’d guess he never slowed down.
It transmits. In this case to his iPhone outside the consulate. This is not a huge compound. With a little luck they can stay close enough for the transmit to happen. At that point, it’s on the phone, outside the consulate. The Saudis have been attacking dissidents outside of the Kingdom already. This is a step up, but not really totally out of character. I think they got sloppy and unlucky.
I didn’t hear anything resembling any explanation of his current drinking habits and no mention of slowing down. Hard to imagine he’d quit drinking because he says he had so much fun. When he wasn’t in a blackout, that is. Yes, his complexion with its broken capillaries is a give away.
This is horror upon horror, kept from view because Saudis keep journalists out. Khashoggi was breaking the rules. His murder is a warning.
All eyes are focused on the reality television show that is the Trump White House. But we can’t let Trump suck all the oxygen away from life-or-death issues. Trump drama cannot be allowed to nullify global tragedy. The carnage in Yemen hasn’t stirred more outrage because the Saudis use their blockade to keep out journalists. I’ve been trying for two years to go, but the Saudis bar aid groups from taking me on relief flights.
Both sides in this civil war have at times behaved brutally, and the only way out is diplomacy. But Saudi Arabia’s crown prince seems to prefer famine and a failed state in Yemen to compromise, and the more we provide him weapons the longer we extend the suffering.

And anyone who looks away now is complicit.
PS. How weird it is, the New World Puritans assisting the far-right Muslims in getting their house in order. Soli Deo gloria! And all anointed with Oil.
Khashoggi’s disappearance has put pressure on President Donald Trump, who has enjoyed close relations with the Saudis since entering office. Trump has promised to personally call Saudi Arabia’s King Salman soon about “the terrible situation in Turkey.”
Speaking to CBS’ “60 Minutes” in an interview to be aired Sunday, Trump said of the Saudis: “They deny it. They deny it every way you can imagine.”
However, Trump also said: “Could it be them? Yes.”
This is like the Helsinki Summit with Putin all over again.
He has hopeless financial conflicts with monstrous dictators, and when there is overwhelming evidence that they have committed horrific crimes, like you know, perverting our election process and getting him elected, or documented murder on foreign soil, he is as firm as a stepped-on chocolate eclair in defense of common decency, the rule of law, human rights, and holding murderous regimes to account.
The man is an absolute disgrace to the Office he holds and what this Nation is supposed to stand for. He has absolutely no business being President of the United States. I still gasp realizing that there’s no bottom of his depravity and corruption.
an iWatch only needs WiFi to work. My wife can text me from hers even if she leaves her phone at home. (miles away) If the Embassy had a visitor login he could’ve used it to send and sync to the cloud.
iMessages can use WiFi. Regular text messages need the cell network. I’m skeptical the people there to kill him ( or any employee) would be handing out embassy passwords, it’s not McDonalds.
I get that, but intelligence agency’s may have them. I’m just speculating. Certainly there would be a secured logins for the offices, if they use wifi at all. Never been in an embassy. Would public wifi be a service? It’s not unheard of for security to overlook a weaknesses like that. I remember a while back how people were using Strava to find secret bases all over the world.
