POPSYoung Afghan struggles to adapt after Guantanamo
He says he was grabbed by police who beat him and threatened to kill his family unless he put his thumbprint to paper and admitted he'd tried to kill two U.S. soldiers. The Pashto speaker, largely illiterate, didn't understand their Persian and had little idea what he'd agreed to, he says. A U.S. judge would later agree. That day, a grenade had been thrown at a U.S. Army vehicle, injuring the two soldiers and an interpreter. Jawad was charged with attempted murder based on the confession, held at Kabul's Bagram air base, then moved to the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in early February 2003. But it spills out. He talks about having his hands bound behind his back and being forced to eat like a dog, being kicked, beaten and pepper-sprayed and subjected to excessive heat, loud noise, solitary confinement. After a year, Guantanamo records show, Jawad tried to commit suicide by banging his head against his cell wall repeatedly. "I was tortured and faced many problems

POPSU.N. Rights Official Backs Gaza Report We can't allow Zionism to equal genocide. Right now over one and a half million people are being slowly starved to death in the Gaza Strip. Encourage our politicians to stop that. All else is meaningless words. Stop the Blockade.

POPSIsrael Says UN War Crimes Investigation a Distraction Hunting down the Nazis, though, wasn't a "distraction." The holocaust in Gaza deserves equal attention. Over one and a half million people are being starved to death in front of the eyes of the world in the Gaza strip, by the total and ruthless Israeli blockade, destruction of infrastructure, restrictions on employment, farming, fishing and repair of homes. The U.N. report says this blockade must be ended. It is not a "distraction." It would be stopping a crime against humanity.

POPSSupport Your Global Police Force The UN wants to build a global police force. And, if that itself were not bad enough, Ronald K. Noble, a man whose actions have been defined by the UN as attempted genocide, is laying the foundation for. Thanks to the near-ubiquity of inconspicuous digital cameras and the technological blessing of internet file-sharing sites, Americans are just now coming to realize how commonplace criminal abuse by the police has become -- and how difficult it is to hold an abusive police officer accountable for crimes against innocent people. But this is the square root of the problem we would confront in the event that the UN actually created a global police force.

POPSMama said: "there'd be days like this." Hopeless Hopi What I like to know is where do you go to report a planetary rapist, pimps for Peabody Coal, and the ravaging of land held sacred for thousands of years by Hopi and Navajo who only walk with us as spirits now? The sickest of criminals and lifelong bullies are those who commit crimes against humanity just because they can - aka: Peabody Coal.

POPSHumans Are As Leaves Of One Branch If you are hung over in an anguished sense after seeing the display of anti-Semitic leaders at the United Nations this past week, there is hope, but I admit, there are times when I lose some hope that the world's future will be a peaceful one. I'm tired of the Jew-hating, the Jew-baiting that has gone on for so many generations. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked, "Have you no shame." Let me repeat that: HAVE YOU NO SHAME, you criminals sitting here? Have you no shame for your crimes against humanity? Is it not a crime against humanity to call for the extermination of an entire nation comprised mostly of our fellow brothers and sisters who happen to be Jewish? I'm sick of it. Anger, yes, and then I reflect that, if we are all leaves of one branch, branches of one tree, that ultimately humanity will awaken to its unity in its diversity. And, rather than kill, murder, maim, imprison, torture and rape in the name of "religion," we can l

POPSStop pumping our money to them! Yes, this is disgusting and must be condemned in every corner of the world. But first of all I don't want to pay for insane exercises of deranged fanatics with twisted indoctrinated brains. They didn't answer yet for already committed crimes against humanity. This is clear sign of apartheid, let's call things by their own names.. :cool:

POPSWhat you Can and Cannot Do in the Middle East I can't really blame this artist; he's a victim of his homeland's (Israel) program of propaganda, which deceives them into thinking that Israel is doing nothing wrong, when in reality, they are stealing land from a cultural minority that the government treats like blacks were treated during the South African Apartheid. The only Palestinian casualties they ever hear about are "insurgents"; they don't hear about the women and children that are imprisoned or killed for no reason by the IDF. They've been set up like spoiled brats; trained to look down their noses at other nations in the Middle East, despite the fact that their government is guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity (and show no sign of stopping those crimes). Not to say that Iran is a Garden of Eden, but Israel ranks right up there with Iran when it comes to tyranny.

POPSEx-Israel troops: Army used reckless force in Gaza The Israeli military rejected the report in a strongly worded statement, questioning its veracity and accusing the group of "defaming and slandering the IDF and its commanders." Strongly worded statement? 1500 against 12 deaths? And how many were wounded and left without their homes? Even such words as atrocity, massacre or bloodbath cannot express what was done to the defenseless humans. People of Israel and Jews in whole world must say (and already started to say as we can see from this clip) their own strong words about their own criminals-in-charge. Now shadow of genocide blanketing each of their supporters and there is no status of limitation for the crimes against humanity.

POPSJudge Allows Civil Lawsuit Over Claims of Torture Mr. Yoo, as part of a senior administrative group called the War Council, helped to shape Bush administration policy in the war on terrorism, and as deputy attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel from 2001 to 2003, wrote many memorandums authorizing harsh treatment. Mr. Yoo had argued that he should be immune from the suit because it was not clearly established that the treatment would be unconstitutional.

POPSCanada convicts Rwandan of genocide The UN estimates that more than 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus died in the genocide. This case is obviously clear cut, but I wonder at countries being able to do this. I thought we had a world Court for this sort of crime.
