Jerry asked Lawrence Wright:

Hi Mr. Lawrence, thanks for the Looming Tower, it's a great read. You note that Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist murdered in Turkey by the Saudis, was a confidant of UBL. Why do you think Khashoggi was murdered? What are you thoughts as to why this connection was never, to my knowledge, acknowledged in the US press coverage of that event. I think the press saw it as an opportunity to smear Trump, nothing more.

Lawrence Wright I can give you a full answer on Oct. 2, the second anniversary of Jamal's murder, when Showtime airs a documentary I co-produced, "The Kingdom of Silence." Hope you watch, it's a shocking story.
