The intelligence business is a funny game, one in which the immediate stakes sometimes seem comically low. In the movies, somebody is always trying to protect some list of secret agents, but in real life the line between intelligence and commonplace gossip is not always entirely clear. There is a lot of “Who’s up? Who’s down? Who’s sleeping with whom? Who signed off on that memo? Who’s up for promotion, and who’s opposing him?” For many years, during the Cold War, New Delhi was a center of espionage, one of the few world capitals where the major powers on both sides of the Iron Curtain operated freely and openly. In the 1990s, every newspaper editor in town knew (or believed he knew) who the CIA boss in New Delhi was, because no other foreigner was so inexplicably interested in the social lives of minor party bosses and obscure government officials.
On the bright side, the new Crown Prince we've installed is moving the country away from Wahhabism. Trying to diversify their economy so they are not solely reliant on oil.

So Saudi Arabia has gone from ''he left the Embassy in perfect health'' to ''he died in a fist-fight'' while reports are talking about recordings of him being tortured and murdered. The Turkish authorities say that one of the gang of men who arrived at the embassy, just before Jamal Khashoggi, had a bone saw in his luggage. The embassy was searched and no body found.
It obvious as fuck that this guy left in pieces and Trump's response is ''the Saudi explanation is credible''.
