CIA statements against CIA sponsored despots are significant as they prefer to lie to their advantage. (If the CIA's behavior with Saddam and Osama are precedent, we might want to mentally prepare to hear the stupidest war rally speach of all time.)

Yeah but doesn't take a billion-dollar intelligence program to look at the evidence and determine what happened to Kashoggi. The CIA in this case is merely reflecting the sentiments of countless govts, news agencies, and individuals.
