So there's a bit of a **** storm brewing over the possible death of Jamal which could hold serious implications towards Saudi, but it leaves me wondering why such outrage from the US? Every government has done its fair share of dirty insider deeds, so why such an outrage? Not to belittle the possible death of the man, but I'm trying to understand why.

The US doesnt give a shit. They just have to publicly show that they care.

Its just normal though. Most countries do it. Its us westerners who are weird with this whole "human rights" thing.

Yes why would anyone in our country care that a journalist with strong US ties was killed by a hit squad sent out by a Saudi prince.

If he was a US citizen, then I can get why it's a big deal, but he wasn't, which is whatmakes this perplexing.

Citizenship shouldn't be the sole factor taken into account.

Yeah but let's not get all high and moral about it, every single country in this world has done some pretty shady stuff, so I don't buy that all of a sudden there's this huge outrage, not defending the Saudis, but it seems hypocritical.

Agreed, it shouldn't but in this world that's not really the case. There's obviously some agenda at play here.
