One year ago today, Washington Post Opinions columnist Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. He was never seen again. wapo.st/2mS0wpg
Saudi Arabia has since admitted that Khashoggi, who was a critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was killed inside by agents of the kingdom.

12 months later, a number of key questions surrounding his brutal death remain unanswered: wapo.st/2nNIcxX
Khashoggi’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, continues to fight for justice, saying President Trump's response has been “disappointing.”

In Opinions, she writes: “Trump is effectively abandoning those fighting for democracy and freedom within the Middle East.” wapo.st/2oo1pX3
“Jamal’s story cannot be forgotten. If it is, his murderers will succeed in evading justice," Fred Ryan, publisher and chief executive of The Post, writes in @PostOpinions. wapo.st/2mUTdNJ

Attorney General Barr personally asked foreign officials to aid inquiry into CIA, FBI activities in 2016 wapo.st/2nbGJ4c
Current and former intelligence and law enforcement officials expressed frustration and alarm that Barr was taking such a direct role in re-examining what they view as conspiracy theories and baseless allegations of misconduct wapo.st/2nVik39
Barr’s personal involvement is likely to stoke further criticism that he is helping the Trump administration use executive powers to augment investigations aimed primarily at the president’s adversaries wapo.st/2nVik39

Exclusive: The number of U.S. kids attending integrated schools has nearly doubled, a Post analysis finds.

But big-city schools remain segregated. wapo.st/schools-divers…
Just because a school system is diverse does not mean its schools are integrated.

In highly integrated districts, schools most closely reflect the demographics of the district as a whole. wapo.st/schools-divers…

One year ago today I signed with my #screenwriting agent and quite a year it's been. Before then I spent ages not knowing what I was doing. Lots of people & resources helped me along the way. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but I know what helped, so now I present...
THE BIG HELPFUL #SCREENWRITING RESOURCES THREAD (particularly relevant for aspiring #screenwriters in the UK/Scotland)
(NB: this is not 'advice'. It's what I personally found to be helpful. It's also far from exhaustive. There's loads out there. Use what works, bin the rest)

Yikes: Nuclear regulators were unaware of transfer of sensitive technical information to Saudi Arabia wapo.st/2FNGRfv?tid=ss…
When the Trump administration on seven occasions authorized companies to share sensitive nuclear energy information with Saudi Arabia, it was supposed to consult with several agencies, including the independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
But NRC Chairman Kristine L. Svinicki testified before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on Tuesday that she did not know whether the agency had been consulted, and if so whether it had raised any concerns.

One of the more serious aspects of the Trump Administration's looting of America. This story points out how Trump could be giving Nuclear Tech to the Saudis for financial gain. #WednesdayMorning

2-"WASHINGTON — Top Trump administration officials have pushed to build nuclear power plants throughout Saudi Arabia over the vigorous objections of White House lawyers who question the legality of the plan and the ethics of a venture that could enrich Trump allies, according to

At the start of this story I wrote that I was SURE #Khashoggi had been told “by someone he trusted״ that it was safe to go to the Istanbul consulate. That he was observant & no fool.
Khalid told Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, that he should go to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe to do so."
this is Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the US - who then said "the reports that suggest that Jamal Khashoggi went missing in the Consulate in Istanbul or that the Kingdom’s authorities have detained him or killed him are absolutely false"

It is all well & good that companies & lobbyists are reassessing #Saudi Arabia over reported murder of #JamalKhashogg. BUT! Where the fuck have all these people and firms been for decades? The violations of the #Saudi monarchy have never been a secret. nyti.ms/2CcsOjL
Glad to see people pay attention, finally, and I wish it hadn’t been over such a gruesome crime. I wish people and firms had started boycotting #Saudi royal family over its gender apartheid that affects all women there. Or the #Yemen war. Or jails full of activists. Or. And. Or.
This was my first oped about #Saudi Arabia for a US newspaper - ironically enough, The Washington Post. Fifteen schoolgirls had died in a fire because religious police wouldn’t let them out because the girls weren’t wearing a cloak and a headscarf washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
