Recently Bahrain sentenced political prisoners and medics for crimes committed during the uprising. Even after assurances of reform and change these individuals were tried in military courts without having access to full legal representation. Some medics were sentenced for 15 years in prison.

The US approach to Bahrain has been very different to that in Lybia, Syria and Yemen. Why is that?

Interesting video - only just watched it. I guess it is not a set of facts that Fox News would cover..

Clinton's body language is interesting - either she's very tired, or she's not happy stating that Bahrain is an important partner etc.
