there is a basis to at least some of these claims.

“There is a basis”

Of course there is. I have no idea why there is such a viceral reaction to a nuanced viewpoint of why a guy got dismembered. It’s not a simple “he was a cool WaPo journalist who criticized the Saudi family “

It reminds me of how so many smart people supported the Iraq war in 2003, including American media like NYT.

I implore people to not do that again.

There is a serious and well documented basis in neutral american and european media-going back decades.

It reminds me of how so many smart people make decisions based on an anecdotal basis, including American media like NYT. I implore people to not do that again.

side note: your background is wild. you have been around the block a time or two..I think you have some good stories to tell.
