The Royal Bahraini Commission

I am seeing a bit of the media round that Bassioni (whom I never trusted in this job that came out of a US initiate to save the royal family) is doing and wondering: why no one mentions that this is not an "independent" commission when the royal family is in charge of it in every way, despite the criticisms that never amounted to an indictment of the regime which is fully and solely responsible for the crimes committed.  Bassioni's interview on Al-Arabiyya only lacked a testimony by him that human rights can only be respected under Wahhabi rule.
