No Peter. No one should be killed like that. Even CIA agents. Even Muslin Brotherhood agents. Even fake journalists. Even real ones. His journalism was pretty tame. He never took a dissident stand against the monarchy at all. Just wanted a few tweaks here and there. It is a horror. But then I find the whole existence of Saudi Arabia a horror. The whole autocratic monarchy thing. The whole fanatic ideology thing. The whole male supremacy thing. The whole extreme wealth and extreme poverty thing. And as much as that is a horror so is the obsequious western toadying and pandering and enabling. In a civilised world we may have countries like Saudi Arabia exist but there is no need to pretend they are any thing other than horrific. And certainly not to arm the monsters. It really cannot go back to business as usual.
