"The Post refrained from publishing it because we expected Jamal to come back with us so that he and I could edit it together. Now I have to accept: that is not going to happen, "Attiah wrote on Wednesday." This is the last part of the edition I will edit for The Post.

In this file photo of December 15, 2014, Jamal Khashoggi, then general manager of a new Arabic news channel, speaks at a press conference in Manama, Bahrain.

Attiah said the article, entitled "What the Arab world needs most is free expression," was the perfect example of the writer's "commitment and passion for freedom in the Arab world," a freedom for which "he apparently gave his lifetime".



Khashoggi noted how some journalists were imprisoned for speaking out against Arab governments, as leaders exercised an apparent "freedom of control" to silence the media.



"My dear friend, the prominent Saudi writer Saleh al-Shehi, wrote one of the most famous columns ever published in the Saudi press. "Unfortunately, he is now serving an unjustified five-year prison sentence for alleged comments contrary to the Saudi establishment," Khashoggi wrote. "Arab governments have been given free rein to keep silencing the media at a growing rate. "There was a time when journalists believed that the Internet would release information from the censorship and control associated with print media."



Khashoggi, a Saudi national who fled to the United States amid the rise of the crown prince, praised Tunisia as the only "free" nation in the Arab world and Jordan, Morocco and Kuwait as "partially free."



"The rest of the countries in the Arab world are classified as 'not free'," he wrote. "A narrative directed by the state dominates the public psyche, and although many do not believe it, a large majority of the population is a victim of this false narrative. Unfortunately, this situation is unlikely to change.



"Through the creation of an independent international forum, isolated from the influence of nationalist governments that propagate hatred through propaganda, ordinary people in the Arab world could address the structural problems facing their societies," he added.

President Donald Trump ordered Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate the disappearance of Khashoggi, but he appeared to be on the side of the Saudi crown prince, who has denied responsibility.



"I just spoke with the king of Saudi Arabia, who denies any knowledge of what happened. "The king firmly denied any knowledge of it," Trump said Monday. "I do not want to enter his mind, but it sounded to me as if these had been unscrupulous murderers."



The president was forced to address the issue again on Wednesday, after his previous comments provoked violent reactions and questions about his ties with Saudi Arabia. When asked on Wednesday if he was covering bin Salman, Trump said: "No, not at all, I just want to know what's going on."



He said he hopes to have more intelligence for the weekend.
