I saw an interview with the Saudi foreign minister in Faux News. He abandoned the old story, and said that 18 people are now being "investigated" in Khashoggi's murder. He wouldn't go into details, but I was struck by the fact that he never flat out said that Mohammed bin Salmon was not involved. He said repeatedly that the U.S. news reporters were making unfounded accusations, but he never explicitly said those reports weren't true. I suspect he doesn't know what intelligence the U.S. may have, and doesn't want to go out on a limb.

We'll have to see what else comes out of this. Regardless, it would be a good idea of our frackers started digging some more holes. I see no reason to keep sending money to the Saudis in exchange for oil, when we already have plenty in the ground here.
