My sources tell me: "The advice that the regime is receiving from its lobbyists is to hire as many
Americans as possible and to make Americans their partners. This way, the
Americans will now be the face of Bahrain's security apparatus. This will make
Bahrain more appealing to Washington's policy makers. Although the
administration has clearly sided with the regime, there are a few senators and
representatives making a lot of noise regarding the imminent arms deal."
