POPSAmerica's War on Journalists No. It's the Bush administration's war against journalists. And what was done to Sami al-Haj can be done to any American, thanks to the Patriot Act. We need our freedoms and our dignity as Americans back from the tyranny of this administration.

POPSA Game worthwhile playing ! As a serious gamer I am certainly going to devote some time to this one. The idea is brilliant. Collaborative computing may bring breakthroughs that are decades away otherwise. If you pop this at least give the game a try :-)

POPSThe Code of Hammurabi Hammurabi (ruled ca. 1796 BC – 1750 BC) believed that he was chosen by the gods to deliver the law to his people. The Code of Hammurabi was one of several sets of laws in the Ancient Near East. Most of these codes come from similar cultures and racial groups in a relatively small geographical area, and they have passages which resemble each other. The earlier Code of Ur-Nammu (21st century BC), the Hittite laws (ca. 1300 BC), and Mosaic Law (traditionally ca. 1400 BC under Moses), all contain statutes that bear at least passing resemblance to those in the Code of Hammurabi and other codices from the same geographic area. The complete text of Hammurabi's Code of Laws. http://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/hammurabi.htm. Quite shocking. The photographs were taken at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Invictus has a clip on Hammurabi: http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/92611450-2366-40A4-8825-C9287250A843/

POPSPolitical Endorsements by U.S. Troops Surprising, considering all the earlier religious indoctrination pushed by the right wing. They're seeing through the lies of the administration and they're growing up fast.

POPSMay I Quote You, Mr. President? 22-"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." 25-"Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction." 31- "The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." 32- "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." 36-"I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future." 47-"I'm the commander — see, I don't need to explain — I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president." 50-“I don’t have the foggiest idea about what I think about international, foreign policy.”

POPSAnti-Evolution Film Stirs Controversy Many of the reader's comments are more interesting than the article. For instance, here's one: ALL those "scientists" who are persecuted for believing "out of the box"? You know what, where are you tests you've preformed to PROVE Intelligent design? What Experimets did you preform? What results did you find that support your hypthesis of their being a designer? huh? Where are they? .... Oh wait.. you don't have any? You just "believe" that what HASN"T been explained by science yet must be something else??? Hmm.... Sounds like your saying "Whatever hasn't be figured out (yet) MUST be God!! Or this: "Unfortunately I feel it's pretty hard to have an honest discussion on the topic of origin these days because it seems that so few people are capable of accurately representing or fairly treating the arguments of anyone who sees it differently."
