The Week in Ideas: Jamal Khashoggi's story is far from finished





The Washington Post | The Week in Ideas
Opinions you may have missed.
Our feelings at The Post right now are best captured by
this drawing by Tom Toles.

This, as I’m sure you know, is a reference to our Global
Opinions columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who entered the
Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2 and has not been
heard from since.
Jamal was a skilled, courageous journalist who left his
homeland because he could no longer speak freely
there. If, as is being reported, the Saudi government
set out to silence him, it is a monstrous crime, and we
will not rest as we press for the facts of the case to be
revealed and for those responsible to be brought to
account.
In response to Jamal’s disappearance, we published
a moving piece by Jamal’s fiancee, Hatice Cengiz.
Elliott Abrams, a Mideast expert and self-described
defender of Saudi Arabia’s young crown prince,
explained why this act would be both “a great crime
and a great mistake” for the regime.
Joel Simon, head of the Committee to Protect
Journalists, wrote that, at a time of great danger for 
journalists in many parts of the world, this “would be
in a category of depravity all its own.”
Historian Robert Kagan, in his column “Welcome to 
the jungle,” argues that this single event may become
“a symbol of a global, historical trend.”
As always, though, we range over many subjects.
As the midterm elections approach, Adam Bonica and
Michael McFaul, who teach political science at Stanford
University, propose a smart and simple way to increase 
voter turnout.
Columnist Kathleen Parker, who has known her fellow
South Carolinian Nikki Haley for a long time, writes about 
why Haley decided to resign as U.N. ambassador, and
what she might do next.
And Anne Applebaum reports that the West may finally
be figuring out the smart way to respond to Russian
hacking and dirty tricks.
Thank you as always for reading.

Please, President Trump, shed 
light on my fiance’s disappearance

Jamal Khashoggi is a valuable person, an exemplary thinker and a courageous man. I don’t know how I can keep living if he was abducted or killed in Turkey.
