More Bullshit from S.A. -Saudi foreign minister says killing of Khashoggi was 'tremendous mistake'

[spanone]

(CNN)Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was a "tremendous mistake" by rogue operators, in an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier on Sunday.

"The individuals who did this did this outside the scope of their authority," he said. "There obviously was a tremendous mistake made, and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to cover up. That is unacceptable in any government."

Al-Jubeir said that Saudi Arabia was taking action to investigate how Khashoggi died and hold those responsible accountable.

"We are determined to uncover every stone. We are determined to find out all the facts. And we are determined to punish those who are responsible for this murder," he said.

1. Mistake implies negligence

Murder is intentional. I used to know a judge who would increase the punishment for anyone convicted of an intentional felony who said it was a "mistake."

8. "We are determined to uncover every stone."

First of all, doofus, the term is, "Look under every rock" or "Leave no stone unturned."

Secondly, I didn't there were any stones in Saudi Arabia. I thought it was all desert sand, and you can bury a lot of evidence in sand, including the bodies of all the henchmen who took part in this ghoulish act.

[c-rational]

10. How about determined to find the body..
