Bahrain update

From Angry Arab chief Bahrain correspondent:  "We need international experts for everything in Bahrain apparently. We need international experts to tell us that the regime violently crushed an uprising. We need international experts to tell us that there was torture. We need international experts to tell us how to reform our judiciary. We need international experts to tell us how to reform the police. We need international experts to tell us how to make the media more fair. We need international experts to tell us how to teach about human rights and democracy in the educational system. I could go on and on about how many "international experts" have been brought to Bahrain the past year. Now apparently, we need international experts to tell us that AlKhawaja was on a hunger strike and that he is dying:  Of course one would think that the solution to all these things are pretty obvious - a 5 year old could tell you what the problem is. But no, the regime needs international experts.  Just one thing I remembered - remember when Bassiouni decided to write a letter congratulating the government on bringing Formula 1 back? Well I was just wondering. Where is he now that we have AlKhawaja on his death bed because he decided to go on a hunger strike after being tortured and unlawfully imprisoned (and Bassiouni can look at his own report to read that). Oh also I wanted to thank the State Department for finally expressing their "concern" over AlKhawaja now that he's been on a hunger strike for 61 days, and also the UN. Kinda late don't you think?"
