POPSGuantanamo prosecutor who quit had 'grave misgivings' about fairness Cont.... Vandeveld is at least the fourth prosecutor to resign under protest. Questions about the fairness of the tribunals have been raised by the very people charged with conducting them, according to legal experts, human rights observers and current and former military officials. Vandeveld's claims are particularly explosive. In a declaration and subsequent testimony, he said the U.S. government was not providing defense lawyers with the evidence it had against their clients, including exculpatory information -- material considered helpful to the defense.

POPSThe Guatemala Genicide Case Among the witnesses was Jesus Tecú Osorio, survivor of the Río Negro massacre and winner of the Reebok Human Rights Award. Tecú was a child when the military began attacking the communities of Rabinal with increasing intensity during 1981 and into 1982. He was ten years old when he watched the Army and civil patrols (PAC) enter his village of Río Negro on March 13, 1982, and carry out the massacre that left 70 woman and 107 children dead, including his own mother and infant brother.

POPSPolish WW2 War Criminal Escapes to Israel He was a member of the State Security and the commandant of the Stalinist-era concentration camp Zgoda in Świętochłowice, Poland. Of 6,000 inmates that he was responsible for, that 1,695 people died under him "by deliberately giving low food rations, systematically torturing and mistreating prisoners, and failing to take sanitary precautions."

The camp was later handed over to the Communist Polish secret service, the notorious Urząd Bezpieczeństwa. In March 1945, Morel became a chief of the labour camp.

POPSDepleted Uranium has Destroyed the Genetic Future of Iraq Cold-blooded Americans could care less. Yet, this nation of hypocrites say they went there to Iraq because they actually gave a shit about the Iraqi people "suffering" under Saddam. Combine all the crimes for which Saddam Hussein has been accused and it would not even come close to the crimes committed against the Iraqi people by the USA.

POPSFor His Treatment of Children in the ‘War on Terror,’ Bush Is a War Criminal I'm still waiting for someone to tell me of a single crime against humanity the US, under the dictatorship of the turd of shit in the oval office, does not regularly commit. There is no bottom - no level below which this regime will not go. Yet, George & Condomsleazy still run around the world lecturing others. In the entire world, these hideous creatures are the LEAST qualified to lecture ANYONE.

POPSSexting latest trend amongst teens. I could never understand why a teenager needed a cell phone to begin with, let alone one with all kinds of bells and whistles. My own personal cell phone does not take pictures nor am I able to send and receive text messages or images. I find there is absolutely no need to do any of that from a PHONE. Our society is awash in excess. Over kill in many respects, What once was a LUXURY now seems to be a necessity in some peoples minds. I can understand the sense of security one can feel by being able to contact a son or daughter at anytime via the cell phone but WHY ON EARTH do they need one with every available option not to mention the COST of it all. Wouldn't a simple cell phone that sends and receives calls be ENOUGH? Must our children need to be able to send text and pictures on a PHONE? Take it away from them parents and act like the adults you are supposed to be.

POPSBush's Child Prostitutes, 1.2M as young as 13 Bush's invasion of a country that posed no threat to the US was illegal under both US and international law, according to legal experts. Bush has been convicted of war crimes by citizen tribunals around the world, including New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Istanbul. Just las week, the towns of Brattleboro and Marlboro Vermont voted to indict and arrest Bush and Cheney. In 2002 and 2003, Bush led a propaganda campaign to defraud Congress, the American people, and key allies into believing Iraq was a threat. Bush claimed Iraq had stockpiles of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons to use against the US, and was sharing them with Al Qaeda. Speaking near Rochester NY, Bush later admitted, "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." ...AlterNet

POPSWhy the leniency for pedophiles? 100,000 Sexual Molestations The law demands a clear explanation in cases where the minimum is disregarded. Yet council research found only two cases in the past three years in which judges bothered to account for extra lenient sentencing. One of the cases cited was of a teacher who molested his 13-year-old female student. He was given six months community service and another 14 months' probationary sentence. By law he could have been imprisoned for up to seven years ...Israeli ENews Feb'08

POPSSEX: Misadventures in American logical reasoning.
Does the USA get it right, ever? Not while hypocrisy rules or the 'moral' majority. Eunuchs rule. "Pay peanuts and get monkeys." Ape eunuchs as your leaders and you get Bush! Shits afraid to fart. So no omelets on the American horizon. Yes, he was the mother of all hypocrites but where hypocrisy is the norm. The damage accruing from this will discourage any red blooded male worth his salt putting himself forward for election. So unless there's a lot more half decent female politicians out there and that's more than I've see, then America is fuc@ed for a fuc@. Grow up America and taste the 21st century! Sex between consent adults is a right. Money is the American way! ...righthand "Presidents who break the law by spying on Americans with no warrants, who torture people in violation of multiple treaties and statutes, who start hideously destructive wars based on false pretenses, who repeatedly proclaim the power to ignore laws, and who imprison people -- including Americans -- wit

POPSMilitia Ex-leader Confesses To Child Sacrifice The evil mankind is capable of, never ceases to appal and sicken me.

POPSDoes America Really Need Its Own Holocaust?
You know, with all the public outcry against ALL sex offenders, it's not often that you find a voice of reason, or if you do it is quickly snuffed out by all the hysteria surrounding it. As bad as you may think sex offenders are, particularly ones involved with minors, they are still people. Murderers, among other criminal types don't suffer the same kind of oppression that sex offenders do, and yet plenty of times their crimes far exceed the damage of the sex offenders. So why do sex offenders get the short end of the stick? I say it's because of the American's need to have something to demonize, and whenever you can tie something, even loosely, to the loss of innocence in a child, you have a perfect candidate to attack. By oppressing sex offenders more and more, rather than creating a safer community, you are creating a large group that is far more dangerous than they would be otherwise. You, your family, and your children are being put at greater risk by oppressing these pe

POPSFlagship Terror Trial Ends In Defeat For Bush
Bush’s prosecutors tried unsuccessfully to convince the jury that the foundation supported terrorism by sending more than $12 million to charitable groups, known as zakat committees, which build hospitals and feed the poor. The prosecution contended they were controlled by Hamas and contributed to terrorism by helping Hamas spread its ideology. Now that’s an American concept to be proud of isn’t it; prosecute people and organizations for supporting charitable giving to the poor and the restriction of free speech. Who were the impartial witnesses? Israeli intelligence agents, using fake names. Now that’s credible. Defendent Elashi’s daughter Noor, who was in the courtroom every day during the trial said she considered her father a hero. He was singled out for feeding and clothing and educating the children of Palestine. Giving charity to the Palestinian people has become a crime in this country. I don't know this country anymore. January 1st, 2009 can't come too soon.

POPSInterviews: Proof of soldiers Abuse against Arabs "We were in a weapon carrier when this guy, around 25, passed by in the street, and just like that, for no reason, he didn't throw a stone, did nothing - bang, a bullet in the stomach - he shot him in the stomach and the guy is dying on the sidewalk and we keep going, apathetic. No one gave him a second look." An ideology developed that even minor events necessitated a brutal response. "A 3-year-old kid, he can't throw, he can't hurt you no matter what he does, but a kid of 19 can. With women I have no problem. With women, one threw a clog at me and I kicked her here , I broke everything there. She can't have children. Next time she won't throw clogs at me. When one of them spat at me I gave her the rifle butt in the face. She doesn't have what to spit with anymore."
