According to the article: "Clinton and the rest of the Obama Administration gave numerous speeches about the importance of political freedom, but then, after a year of queasy hesitation, sold weapons to Bahrain, which conducted a brutal crackdown on dissenters and human-rights activists."
This is blatant corruption of the worst kind and people should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
However, be careful about trusting the media with “moderate Muslim nation cracks down on dissenters” stories. For many of these nations the people they are cracking down on are the ISIS wannabes or the Muslim brotherhood. As we saw in the “Arab Spring” the new boss was often far worse than the “old boss”. Just throwing that out there.
