Bahrain under scrutiny after U.S. links arms sale to rights findings

DUBAI—The future of U.S. military support for Bahrain, starting with a $53 million arms deal now on the line, hinges on the findings of a human rights investigation into the Gulf kingdom’s handling of popular protests earlier this year.

Could the US be using their military/economic might for positive reasons?

Let's hope it doesn't stop in Bahrain.

It is a two way street.

Bahrain may well say no arms sale no U.S. Fifth Fleet.

Of course there are certain elements in the Obama Administration that already feel that Fifth Fleet HQ should move.

Further will the French or British or Russians have the same moral scruples?
