Hi @fdd, where's your coverage of the anniversary of Khashoggi's death, at the hands of the Saudi prince's butchers?

For a "research institute" that claims the mantle of "free nations," this is a pretty revealing omission.

@FDD Hi WINEP (@WashInstitute), where are your policy insights and op-eds on the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi?

It seems that of your dozens of Mideast-focused fellows, only one has written an article on the anniversary—& it hasn't been tweeted or highlighted on your homepage

@FDD @WashInstitute What's particularly vile is that WINEP invited Mr. Khashoggi to speak in 2016.

@FDD @WashInstitute Hi, @aei - I don't see any recent analysis of the Saudi Crown Prince's dismemberment of a journalist.

It's an omission that belies your mission statement as a "think tank dedicated to defending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world."

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI Greetings, @Heritage. Were your team of foreign policy analysts too busy to assess the implications of MBS's murder of Jamal Khashoggi a year on?

"Building an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society flourish," you say? Prove it.

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage Hi, @HooverInst,

Today I learned that Jamal Khashoggi participated in a Stanford panel on Arab politics and reform in 2017.

But you wouldn't know it from your homepage or social media.

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst Hello, @HudsonInstitute: Did I overlook your coverage of MBS's dismemberment plan?

Color me surprised that an organization that promotes "American leadership and global engagement for a secure, free, and prosperous future," overlooked the anniversary of Khashoggi's murder.

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute Greetings, @csis, which boasts 13 Mideast experts, several of whom cover "human rights." Yet zero recent coverage of Khashoggi.

If you truly want to provide "strategic insights and policy solutions to help decisionmakers chart a course toward a better world," why not start here?

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute @CSIS Addendum to the above on @HooverInst, with a link to their event co-hosted with @pomed from last year: c-span.org/video/?453215-…

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute @CSIS @POMED Hi @CFR_org, Very interesting event last week with Saudi minister of state Adel al-Jubeir.
cfr.org/event/conversa…

But the only thing I can find on Khashoggi on your homepage or among your tweets is from a certain presidential candidate:

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute @CSIS @POMED @CFR_org Greetings, @ClaremontInst. When Secretary of State Pompeo spoke earlier this year at your gala, he emphasized human rights.

But I don't see any coverage or analysis of the Saudi Crown Prince's butchering of Khashoggi on your website. Is this an oversight?

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute @CSIS @POMED @CFR_org @ClaremontInst I bring these examples to your attention, because they stand in startling contrast to how other institutions have remembered the martyred journalist.

In July, @BrookingsInst hosted UN Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard to discuss the Saudi state crime brookings.edu/events/investi…

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute @CSIS @POMED @CFR_org @ClaremontInst @BrookingsInst Yesterday, Brookings Senior Fellow @tcwittes contributed to a special Washington Post section: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute @CSIS @POMED @CFR_org @ClaremontInst @BrookingsInst @tcwittes And @TheWilsonCenter has highlighted Khashoggi's grisly killing: wilsoncenter.org/article/far-ac…

@FDD @WashInstitute @AEI @Heritage @HooverInst @HudsonInstitute @CSIS @POMED @CFR_org @ClaremontInst @BrookingsInst @tcwittes @TheWilsonCenter @pomed and a dozen human rights organizations hosted an event last week, with 11 senators and congresspeople, which you can watch here: pomed.org/justiceforjama…

Please reply letting me know what articles stuck with you yesterday—and what omissions made you sick.
