US embassy cable - 05MANAMA1555

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.  In response to action request in reftel, to date these 
reports have received minimal local press play and no 
editorial comment.  Embassy's judgment is to take a passive 
posture and refrain from comment at this time.  If the need 
arises, we will rely on the points provided in reftel.
