Today on Flashpoints, We get a live report from the federal building in downtown Oakland about demonstrations currently going on to support whistle blower Bradley Manning. We also talk to a former senior executive of the national security agency and himself a whistle blower about Manning’s case. Then we join the Caravan for Peace led by Mexican poet Javier Sicilia on its 21 city journey to end drug violence in Mexico. Finally, we look at the sentencing of a prominent human rights activist in Bahrain, which is also the home port in the region for the US Navy’s fifth fleet.
