POPSIs Katie Just Another White House Echo Chamber? Katie's first report on Face th Nation really pissed me off. She made the same ridiculously misleading remarks as Congressman Mike Pence made when he went on a military escorted tour or the market place. At least she had the good sense to mention that she realizes she is being taken to see what the government wants her to see. But I can only hope that this week, while she is there, she will make her own way into the areas that the government does not lead her. However, if all she does is report on a showcase report under government auspices, I will have no choice but to realize that Ms. Couric is nothing but a happy talk morning person who is totally out of her league. Let's hope she can do the country, women and the citizens of the U.S. proud, but actually reporting the truth without government guidance.

POPSBrit MP--British WMD Iraq Inspector Murdered
The British MP's book "The Strange Death of Dr. Kelly" claims their was foul play in the suicide, that he was in fact murdered. Of course the Downing Street Memos prove that the "intelligence was fixed around the policy" to go to war, by the U.S. neoconservatives and Cheney, in league with Tony Blair. After BBC reported the intelligence about WMD had been "sexed-up" (exaggerated and fraudulent) Dr. Kelly was found dead in the woods, reportedly "suicide". Immediately the coincidence was considered suspicious by many. The story also says this: He said it was virtually impossible to kill yourself in the manner Kelly had, by cutting his ulnar artery, there was a lack of blood at the scene, and no fingerprints were found on the knife used. Kelly had also booked a flight to Iraq for the following week, his wife was unwell, his daughter was shortly to be married and he left no suicide note, all factors that appeared to contradict the official verdict, Baker argues.[/quot

POPSJoker One: A Marine Platoon’s Story of Courage, Leadership, and Brotherhood . . . . . . And while you’re at it, they’re told, try winning over the hearts and minds of the populace, too. Vague visions of military glory vaporize on Joker One’s first forays into Ramadi’s hardscrabble neighborhoods, where everyone lives within walled compounds and even the smiling kids who take the Marines’ candy quickly turn around and pelt them with stones. Campbell, a deft writer who must be an obsessive diarist, recounts his unit’s 7 ½ -month tour in powerful, exacting detail, from a U.S. major’s babbling incoherency after an attack to the way a rocket-propelled grenade skipped down the street before finally hitting something solid enough to detonate it. He tells it all with lyrical grace.

POPSAl-Sadr Embarasses US What's Wrong this Picture? The Bush administration negotiates this deal behind closed door, only publicly refers to its terms during the negotiation in "vague" terms, and tells the elected members of Congress it's not their affair and he doesn't need their approval. Yet here is an Iraq Islamic cleric calling for a referendum on the agreement, public protests against it, a media drive opposing it and, if need be, a petition drive to give the people of Iraq a voice on the agreement. How embarrassing for us in the United States. This Islamic theocrat is actually more democratic and transparent than George Bush. If Al Sadr has his way, the Iraqi people will have more say on the US occupation of Iraq than we will. And we liberated them to be like us? LOL!!!
