CIA's Haspel to brief senators on Khashoggi death
By Rebecca Kheel - 12/03/18 04:57 PM EST

CIA Director Gina Haspel will brief Senate leaders on the death of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, after senators criticized her absence from a briefing last week.

Haspel will brief members of the Foreign Relations, Armed Services and Appropriations committees on Tuesday, a Senate aide confirmed to The Hill. The CIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Last week, Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo briefed the whole Senate on U.S.-Saudi relations and the Yemen civil war in an effort to head off a resolution that would end U.S. military support for the Saudis in the war.

The briefing, though, backfired for the administration, as senators found the presentation unconvincing and voted 63-37 to advance the resolution.

"He's dead.
The Saudis killed him.
Probably on orders from "higher ups".
Maybe even the top guy."

Really -- how much more to say is there, then that?

Fine with me if the Senators scrutinize this closely. We need to end foreign policy foul-ups, so far during this administration it's gone fairly well but it's hard to see what is happening in Yemen and potentially, this may be such a foul-up.  Time to stop going into places and making it worse.  Iran is active in Yemen, per it being a proxy war but I'm not sure if we know all that is going on. Hopefully, the Senators do...  and the Khashoggi killing is integral on our future treatment of Saudi Arabia.
