I'm going to bet that absolutely nobody higher up will end up going to jail for this.

  Yup. Brown Muslims from another country are barely considered human. It's like killing an ant.

    The current regime came to power, in part, because of US/UK interference in the country going back to before WW2. There's a pattern of deposing existing leaders for those that are friendly to Western oil extraction. Our poor historical judgements led to much of our consternation today, and... we... keep... doing... it... #AmericanAmnesia
    Once a bad regime is in power, there is less we can do about their internal affairs without sending in the troops again.

  Jail? I'm going to bet that absolutely nobody higher up will face any consequences for this. The outcome will be "we will review our processes".

    Yep. Last time this happened, during the Afghanistan withdrawal, no one was even fired.
