Saudi Prince says CIA cannot be trusted

Saudi Prince says CIA cannot be trusted thumbnail

A senior Saudi prince cast doubt on the reported CIA finding that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul last month, saying the agency could not be counted on to reach a credible conclusion.

“The CIA is not necessarily the highest standard of veracity or accuracy in assessing situations. The examples of that are multitude,” Prince Turki al-Faisal, a senior member of the royal family, told journalists in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

The prince, a former Saudi intelligence chief who has also served as ambassador to the United States, said the agency’s conclusion that Iraq possessed chemical weapons before the US invasion in 2003 showed it could be unreliable.

“That was the most glaring of inaccurate and wrong assessments, which led to a full-scale war with thousands being killed,” he said, speaking at an event hosted by the Beirut Institute think tank.

“I don’t see why the CIA is not on trial in the United States. This is my answer to their assessment of who is guilty and who is not and who did what in the consulate in Istanbul.”

The CIA has concluded that Prince Mohammed ordered the operation to kill Khashoggi, as first reported by the Washington Post, and briefed other parts of the US government on its findings, sources told Reuters news agency last week.

US President Donald Trump has disputed that the agency reached a conclusion on the murder, saying instead “they have feelings certain ways”.

A Turkish newspaper also reported on Thursday that CIA Director Gina Haspel signalled to Turkish officials that the agency had a recording of a call in which the crown prince gave instructions to “silence” the journalist.

Khashoggi was killed at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 in an operation that Turkish authorities have said was ordered by the highest level of Saudi leadership, prompting the kingdom’s biggest political crisis in a generation.

After offering numerous contradictory explanations, Riyadh said Khashoggi was killed and his body dismembered after negotiations to persuade him to return to Saudi Arabia failed.

The kingdom’s public prosecutor is seeking the death penalty for five suspects charged in the murder, but has said Prince Mohammed had no prior knowledge of the operation.

Prince Turki told the Associated Press news agency the killing of Khashoggi was “an unacceptable incident that tars and mars the long record of Saudi Arabia’s own standing in the world”.

“We will have to bear that. It’s not something that should not be faced. And we do face it,” he said.

Dealing with Saudi Arabia

Prince Mohammed embarked late on Thursday on his first foreign tour since the killing with a visit to the United Arab Emirates. He is expected to visit Bahrain and Tunisia before going to Buenos Aires on November 30 for the start of the two-day G-20 summit, where he’ll come face to face with world leaders.

Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has kept international pressure mounting on the kingdom, are among those expected to attend.

“Whether the leaders in that summit will warmly engage with the crown prince or not, I think all of them recognise that the kingdom as a country and King Salman and the crown prince are people that they have to deal with,” the prince said.

He said Saudi Arabia will continue to play a role on the world stage and that Trump’s statement of support for Saudi Arabia recognises the importance of the kingdom.

“I thought President Trump was expressing what he felt was in the interest of the United States. He emphasised the strategic relationship between the two countries in the same statement and how Saudi Arabia has been helpful in many instances — not just oil,” Prince Turki said.

The prince, who led Saudi intelligence for more than two decades and served as ambassador to the US and Britain, worked closely for years with Khashoggi before the writer became an outspoken government critic.

Khashoggi worked under Prince Turki as a spokesperson for the Saudi Embassy in London and later in Washington, DC.

The prince’s father is the late King Faisal and his brother is Prince Khalid al-Faisal, the governor of Mecca.

Prince Turki said that reports of discontent within the ruling Al Saud family over the crown prince’s rapid rise to power do not reflect the “extraordinary support” that King Salman and his son, the crown prince, enjoy.

“I see no signs of such disquiet or uncertainty vis-a-vis the king and the crown prince,” he said.

    How can the CIA be trusted when they cannot recognize power and wealth enough to order torture and murder, presumptive it will occur without repercussions? I mean when you’ve got enough money to buy just about anything, you get bored sometimes and it’s a bit of fun to drag someone in and give a good working over. So sometimes the people they give orders to get carried away and the next thing you know the person has been, well, put into his or her separate parts. But you know, it’s all in a days fun! Come on let these people have their kicks. (sarc)

    You are inciting war with Russia.
    You will get war with Eurasia.
    And next CW2, because if faced with being thrown in the Eurasian meatgrinder, poor white BMI35 Americans, not exactly born for heroism, will prefer a less risky uprising at home.

    – Macron risked fuelling Brexiteers’ anger at the end of the EU summit in Brussels
    – He said the threat of keeping Britain in a customs union would be ‘leverage’
    France and several other EU nations are determined to keep fishing in UK waters

    The US is in deep shit and there is no way out but violence and destruction on the home turf. You were just born about 40 years too late. I experienced America’s best years. You will get to experience its worse. Bad luck on your part.

    The riots I saw in the late 60s and early 70s are nothing compared to what is coming to the US soon. America, the land of snowflakes. The US couldn’t raise a viable army now if it tried. Too many druggies and obese wimps that couldn’t even get thru Basic Training.

    Its existing military materials are obsolete and the new stuff doesn’t work. You live in a 3rd world, banana republic MOB. Graft and corruption everywhere. The rest of the world is watching the US’ self-destruction with happy anticipation of its demise as a world power. My advice: get out now.

    “Jimmy Wales, in full Jimmy Donal Wales, (born August 8, 1966, Huntsville, Alabama, U.S. [see Researcher’s Note]), American entrepreneur, who cofounded Wikipedia, a free Internet-based encyclopaedia operating under an open-source management style.

    Wales received degrees in finance from Auburn University (B.S.) and the University of Alabama (M.S.). From 1994 to 2000 he was an options trader in Chicago, amassing enough money to allow him to quit and start his own Internet company. Wales was a devotee of objectivism, and in 1989 he began moderating the online Ayn Rand Philosophy Discussion List. In March 2000, perhaps inspired by objectivist “openness,” he founded a free online encyclopaedia called Nupedia, which sought free contributions from scholars and other experts and subjected them to an intensive peer-review process. Frustrated by the slow progress of this project, Wales and Nupedia’s editor in chief, Larry Sanger, in 2001 turned to a new technology, a type of software called wiki, to create Wikipedia, a companion encyclopaedia site that anyone could contribute to and edit. Sanger and Wales parted company in 2002, but they continued to dispute who first came up with the idea of using the wiki software.

    Despite certain vulnerabilities—including the fact that Wikipedia was the object of deliberate vandalism, editorial wars, and practical jokes—the site was a huge success. By 2006 Wikipedia was available in a number of languages and was one of the Internet’s most popular sites. In 2003 Wales established the Wikimedia Foundation to oversee his expanding online enterprises. He extended the wiki model to several other projects, including Wiktionary and Wikinews. In 2004 he cofounded with Angela Beesley the for-profit Wikia, Inc.”

    MOB, obviously your meds/drugs are destroying your mind. Do you actually read what you post? Look in the mirror and see what you have become, another piece of American trash, destined to fail at everything you do, even suicide. A beggar in your mom’s basement in all likelihood.

    You don’t like the message so you try to discredit the messenger. That does not change anything. Denial only makes it worse for the denier who does not think and plan for the future. That is you, loser. America is in the shitter, swirling down the drain and no one can or even want to save it. The collapse is ongoing.

    Your future is much as Cloggie pictures it. WW3 with destruction of America and/or Civil War 2 with a similar ending. America is finally getting what it has done to so many 3rd world countries, death and destruction. Well deserved, I think. Maybe when all of America’s cities look like the bombed out cities of third world countries that the US has invaded since WW2, the serfs will wake up, but I doubt it. They will blame it on the “dirty” Russians and/or Chinese and/or Bangladeshis, etc., not on their own arrogance, stupidity and greed. So be it. Denial and blame changes nothing. America is over.

    “Terrorism is “Made in the USA”. The “Global War on Terrorism” is a Fabrication, A Big Lie”

    “The Globalization of War is undoubtedly one of the most important books on the contemporary global situation produced in recent years.

    In his latest masterpiece, Professor Michel Chossudovsky shows how the various conflicts we are witnessing today in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq and Palestine are in fact inter-linked and inter-locked through a single-minded agenda in pursuit of global hegemony helmed by the United States and buttressed by its allies in the West and in other regions of the world.”

THAT is why we need Macron’s Euro-army, to intervene in North-America if all hell breaks lose and help white America to secede. He denounces capitalism as a globalist cancer.

    “Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini just declared himself the leader of the Europe’s future. He refuses to budge one inch in negotiations with the European Union over Italy’s budget now threatening to take down the government. And in doing this he not only speaks for Italians, he is now speaking for that growing part of the European population who sees what the EU is morphing into and recoiling in horror.”

    “Italy’s debt problems are not solvable within the euro. Salvini understands this. The biggest impediment to his plans are the Italian people themselves. They have to come to the conclusion that the short-term pain of leaving the euro is worth the long-term benefits. I don’t know if Salvini has made that case clearly enough for them to this point, but this is absolutely what he will have to do.”

    “Because don’t think for one second that Salvini doesn’t know what the real story behind Italy’s debt is and who is hurt worst by exposing it to the vicissitudes of the market. At this point he’s daring Draghi to stop supporting Italian bond yields. Let yields rise. Let’s find out who is behind the insolvent Italian banks swimming naked as the tide rolls out, liquidity dries up and the whole European debt market seizes up.”
