Obama Supports Brutal Crackdown in Bahrain DN! Mirror

Physicians For Human Rights director Richard Soloman calling on Obama to speak out forcefully on the dire situation in Bahrain. His report is entitled "And Do No Harm"
American Medical Association is also asking Obama to take actiion .
Obama and others in his administration want things both ways. They claim to be concerned about human rights and abuse and torture of people in Libya but in Bahrain they are more concerned with shipping more weapons to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.Bahrain is an ally to USA and Saudi Arabia.
But realistically given Obama and the US military's disdain for International Law and the Geneva Conventions and the fact that the US in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc. has shown little interests in protecting hospitals or doctors or paramedics. The US like Israel does not recognize the Red Cross or Red Crescent as being non-partisan.
And as we know Obama is also gunning for dissidents in America such as Bradley Manning who is a whistleblower connected with the Evil boogeyman Julianne Assange of Wikileaks.
