This is a stretch. I'm certain they wanted world-wide condemnation and a diplomatic tiff with the US over a mostly-inconsequential journalist who is no threat to an all powerful autocratic regime in Rihad. Yep, that makes sense. Do you also think they intentionally allowed this murder and dismemberment to be recorded on audio with potential for it to leak into public distribution? Anyone whose business it is to be concerned about potential actions by the Saudi's against them would fully understand when Kashoggi (sp?) just disappeared without all this ineptitude.
