So, we have revoked the entry visas of the Saudis linked to the torture and killing of Jamal Khashoggi? This does nothing to the thought that we should ask for their justice, that we should demand they be tried and punished for what they have done.
Revoke their visas? As if they were even thinking of coming to America after what they have done. And, this is the only punishment we have come up with in the weeks following Khashoggi's Oct. 2 murder?
President Trump -- and, this is our leader?
Any other president would have demanded the trial and punishment of the assailants as quick as the news broke that Khashoggi had been killed. Three weeks later, and this is the first thing Trump has done?
We're not going to let them visit our country -- that's it?
I wonder at our nation and am amazed at the shortage of outrage. Sure, many are outraged, but the outrage should be so great that nary a soul should not be sharing in it.
It has been reported that two years ago this December, Khashoggi was banned from being quoted or interviewed in the Saudi media because he was critical of President-Elect Donald Trump. Is this the same Donald Trump who is so slow to act?
