Lies of the Bahraini royal family

R sent me this:  "Foreign Affairs Ministry says:
"U.N Secretary General, for his part, emphasized the world organization’s support for measures taken by the Kingdom of Bahrain to maintain security and stability. He also praised the political reforms led by His Majesty the King and Bahrain's progress and prosperity at all levels."
vs.
U(seless)N says:
"Ban Ki-moon today voiced his concern to Bahrain’s Foreign Minister about the violence in the country in which demonstrators have been killed or injured, and called for maximum restraint and caution."
Previously
UN says:
"The office of the human UN rights chief said Tuesday it appeared to have been targeted by an orchestrated e-mail campaign after it condemned a takeover of Bahrain hospitals by security forces. "Since last Thurday, we've been inundated with e-mails telling us we got it back to front and that the protesters are the ones completely at fault," said Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. "Many of these e-mails are very similar in content, suggesting an orchestrated campaign. That said, some or even many of these e-mails may be genuine," he added."
vs.
GDN (pro-gov rag) says:
"UN 'got it wrong' during protests"
