Khashoggi Let Qatar ‘Draft Material’ for Columns

[GURPS]

The new Post article conceded that Khashoggi was a political activist and admitted his writing may have been “shaped” by the government of Qatar, including an executive linked to that government “drafting material” for Khashoggi’s columns.

Before diving into the Washington Post’s revelations, it is sadly necessary to restate for the record that nothing disclosed in the piece justifies his murder by Saudi agents at the consulate in Istanbul in October. Being honest about who Khashoggi was, and taking a closer look at connections he preferred to keep secret, is not the same thing as blithely accepting his murder.

It is also necessary to stress just how different this portrait of Khashoggi is from his customary depiction as a “guardian of truth,” an impartial journalist interested in nothing but getting the story out, an innocent martyr to press freedom. At the height of media furor over his killing, it was considered a thought crime to point out that Khashoggi was a political actor and a true believer in Muslim Brotherhood ideology.

I guess the Saudi's didn't agree with the WAPO .
They thought Kashoggi needed killing ,and they got the job done.
I really cannot find a lot of sympathy for the man myself.
If he was working for the Muslim Brotherhood he was working against America.

So I don't find it terribly interesting that the WAPO took so much offense about the killing because they are working against America too.

Jamal Khashoggi was a jihadist, not a journalist​

Far from a “journalist” and a crusader for human rights, Jamal Khashoggi was a militant Islamist advocate who, in his Arabic writings, endorsed and encouraged jihadist violence against innocents.




As I’ve explained previously in The Dossier, the Jamal Khashoggi campaign has nothing to do with Jamal Khashoggi himself. Jamal Khashoggi is best understood not as a man, but as a foreign information operation purposed with undermining Saudi Arabia and realigning American relations in the Middle East.

I’ve written extensively about the late Jamal Khashoggi, and the amazing lies surrounding his life’s work and the circumstances surrounding his death.

Here’s but a few writings of mine on Khashoggi for you to catch up to speed, along with relevant quotes within the articles.

What the media isn’t telling you about the Jamal Khashoggi affair

We’ve been told that Khashoggi — who was living in the U.S. for the past year — was a voice for reform and democracy in a Middle East that is in desperate need of such individuals. However, a closer look at Khashoggi’s past activities reveals a man with an extremely regressive, anti-Western worldview and a consistent pattern of supporting fringe Islamist movements in the region.

4 critical unanswered questions about Jamal Khashoggi

His Arabic writings and commentary are readily available for all to read. They reveal his clear ideology as a regressive Islamist who followed the Muslim Brotherhood playbook on overthrowing America’s Gulf allies and waging war in the region.
Khashoggi’s writings have on several occasions expressed support for the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas. He was also a staunch defender of al Qaeda co-founder Abdullah Azzam.
