Viewing cable 04MANAMA1546, BAHRAIN: BLUE LANTERN PROGRAM ANNUAL UPDATE

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #04MANAMA1546.

REF: STATE 205022 
 
1.  Blue Lantern designated point of contact is 
Economic/Commercial Officer Aimee Cutrona. She can be reached 
through the Embassy switchboard at: (973) 1724-2700, at the 
office: (973) 1724-2986; via fax: (973) 1727-3011; or email: 
CutronaA@state.gov. 
 
2.  To date Embassy Manama has not received a significant 
number of requests to conduct Blue Lantern Checks.  PM/DTCC 
records indicate that the last request was in 2000.  While 
officers currently at post do not have experience in 
conducting these checks in Bahrain, there is every reason to 
believe a check can be completed within thirty days.  The 
Bahrain Defense Force (BDF) has provided model cooperation in 
the DSCA's Golden Sentry Program, and Embassy officers enjoy 
a close working relationship with the Ministry of the 
Interior.
