let me go to josh lederman. josh, it seems to me this is a classic case, and it happens in some of the worst cultures and some of the better one, rolling disclosure. they're only disclosing what we know as a fact, he's dead. nothing else can be prerest lied upon in this statement. >> that's right. and up until now, chris, the saudis have not even acknowledged he was dead. it was less than a week ago that the saudis were putting out vehement statements saying that they really are upset about these terrible disparagement of the saudi government, but what we can say, chris, nbc news has learned from a official, a source that's close, has information about what the saudis plan to do here, that this is not the end of what the saudi government will release. there will be more information that comes outside that details the chain of events, what exactly happened. >> rolling disclosure. so they're going to roll out more after they test this? first of all, is anybody going to take the fall, really, for incident occurred
