So, does an accidental killing lead to dismemberment of the body and hiding of all the evidence and waiting days before admitting to the killing? \u00a0If the United States accepts this version of events for the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, we are really living in a world of fake news and, worse, a conspiracy against the truth about our relationship with Saudi Arabia. An embassy is a heavily controlled area where nothing happens against the will of the of the powers that be who conduct business on the part of the foreign country. There is no such thing as rogue elements or uninstructed elements in the embassy unless it produces a crisis in terms of terrorism or invasion of the embassy.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be clear about it. \u00a0When a national cannot enter an embassy without having a fistfight to obtain a marriage license (or passport or redeeming stolen travellers checks) without having to lose his or her life, an embassy has become a \u201csafe\u201d place for terrorizing its citizens. \u00a0Saudis who are dissidents around the world know better than to go the Saudi embassy (a safe place in international law for several hundreds of years) because they fear for their lives.<\/p>\n

There is a thin line between terrorism and unjust wars. \u00a0There is brazenness on the part of terrorist nations who declare their wars are against terrorists and then visit their destruction on civilians as the Saudis using arms from the United States and the UK have done in Yemen. \u00a0Last count is that millions of Yemenis are facing displacement and lack of food. And, there is a total fiction on the part of those assistant powers who remotely frame their participation in terms of some strategic concept and jobs.<\/p>\n
