A lot of companies banks, car makers, big billionaire names like Richard Branson are pulling their money away from Saudi
A lot of theories as to who killed him but killing him in such a public way, with international cameras looking would send a 'message'
He wrote for the Washington Post and the Guardian News Paper England and was also a political commentator for Saudi Arabian and international channels, including MBC, BBC, Al Jazeera, and Dubai TV
lots of coverage of this grizzly murder/torture. However, not in the news are thousands of people the US picked up, sent to foreign locations for torture, uncluding boiling alive in Uzbekistan and places like that and the ones still alive are STILL incarcerated, with no trial, no visitors (not even Red Cross), and no lawyers. Seymour Hirsch wrote a long piece on it some years back and the program continues and the NY Times and WSJ and everyone writing about this awful case all know it.
The US is on poor footing to complain because of it (my opinion).
It will make Trump look bad though if he does nothing. The victim worked for Murdock media empire which has some sway I imagine.
