It's not our job to police other governments, including SA. And no one's ordering the "murder of journalists". One guy. One guy with some very suspect ties to jihadists. One guy.
That this one guy was not even an American citizen making this uproar all the more stupid. Just a strategic blunder ... and Russia's waiting in the wings to continue it's march across the Middle East.
If our lawmakers weren't jackasses, they'd be nothing.

Last sentence is on the mark.
As Lord Palmerston asserted "Great Nations have interests......."
and SA is our interest, as its an ally of Jordan and Israel.
As for Khashoggi, how many are aware that the family is Turkish?
Further, Adnan, his uncle, was an illicit arms dealer who supplied
both Osama bin Laden as well as the 9/11 hijackers???
