BETRAYAL OF DEMOCRACY IN BAHRAIN

From the Atlantic.  The Obama administration is ignoring the use of torture and other injustices in Bahrain.

Since Bahrainis first took to the streets on February 14, 2011 to demand revision of the constitution and a transition to democracy, the United States has faced an acute and painful instance of the classic tension between security interests and moral concerns.

Geopolitics trumps human rights.
