I am not persuaded that this particular assassination merits a cause célèbre for a "free press." That is, I've no reason to assume Khashoggi is/was a free agent. I've no reason to assume that the Washington Post is/was his sole employer either.

There's this thing about "cover stories" ... apart from Trump's disingenuous concern for undesirable or unauthorized criminal activities.

Trump said CIA Director Gina Haspel [!] and other U.S. officials looking into the killing should return from the region Tuesday evening and Wednesday.

puhleeeeeze
