@shearm @EricSchmittNYT @michaelcrowley @maggieNYT As late as 7 p.m., military and diplomatic officials were expecting the strike. The president had approved attacks on a handful of Iranian targets, like radar and missile batteries. But then he pulled back, at least for now. — PolitiTweet.org

Saudi forensic expert prior to Khashoggi murder: "Joints will be separated. It is not a problem. The body is heavy. If we take plastic bags and cut it into pieces, it will be finished. We will wrap each of them." @nickcbruce https://t.co/JnPOE55hOn — PolitiTweet.org
