POPSThe Massacre that Haunts the Pentagon given the Taliban's horrific record, the prisoners had it coming. Newsweek concluded that there was enough evidence to justify a "fully-fledged criminal investigation". "Politics is the art of the possible," The Pentagon has so far declined to answer several tricky questions, among them, were US soldiers present when the containers were first opened at Shiberghan prison?

POPS US Media Hiding Film from Americans This film is very controversial as it alleges American war crimes in Afghanistan. The producer in an interview claims that the Pentagon, State Department and US media have done their best to keep this film from Americans. Two of the Afghan witnesses interviewed in this film have since been murdered. I'm going to watch some of this...just wanted to hurry up and clip to post for everyone.

POPSVideo: Israel shoots dead nine-year-old boy Again and again and again. Everyday. All day. How can these creatures stand themselves? Were they born conscienceless or did this happen in their studies of how to be a good murdering Zionist. The worst part about this is that incidents like this puts a big smile on these people's faces. If it didn't they wouldn't be doing this. The evil state of Israel IS the crime.

POPSRare Images of the War The US military has done an excellent job of censoring images like these. Perhaps if they hadn't been so skilled at denying free speech, support for the war in Iraq would have declined sooner rather than later. By the way, you are allowed to react to these images with your emotions. That's what makes you fully human. Don't let anyone tell you that you should view them solely from the cold aspect of reason. Such people are only censors of a different sort. They would censor your feelings.

POPSPhotographs of War... or Not? What a complicated issue.... I can see the military wanting to preserve security and honor the memory of their dead; I can see families not wanting to be traumatized by photos of their loved ones; but I think about all we are still learning from photographs of WWI and WWII... and if there are no photos of the Iraq war, where will that leave historians of the future? Most of the WWI and WWII photographs were taken by military photographers assigned to document the actions. I wonder if there are still military photographers documenting todays "wars"?

POPSHezbollah Welcomes Terrorists & Jew-Killers Back Home The deal was brokered by UN which assigned German Gerhard Conard of Germany as a mediator between Israel and Hezbollah.

"This is an important aspect, humanitarian aspect of Security council resolution 1701", he added.

POPSBoy 14 Forced into Oral Sex on another Prisoner!!! Mazin Younis, of the Iraqi League , who has travelled in Basra collecting witness statements of allegations of abuse, says he now has "more than 80" cases involving allegations against British troops. "Every single time I uncover a personal story of torture and humiliation in Iraq, I think to myself that I have seen the worst there is," Mr Younis added. "Then I hear the next story. "Hassan shook with emotion and humiliation as he described to me the treatment he suffered at the hands of British soldiers five years ago. It had taken constant prompting and repeated reminders about the importance of detail before Hassan felt brave enough to describe how he was forced to engage in oral sex with his friend Tariq while their British captors laughed raucously and took photographs."

POPSFort Bragg Soldier Missing After Fire At Her Apartment According to WRAL, Mrs. Wimunc had sought a protective court order in May, claiming that her husband "held loaded 9mm to my head; choked me.

POPSSeeds of Current Propaganda found in Reagan Era 
Enduring Skills Beyond these individuals, the manipulative techniques that were refined in the 1980s — especially the skill of exaggerating foreign threats — have proved durable, bringing large segments of the American population into line behind the Iraq War in 2002-03. Only now — with more than 4,100 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis dead — are many of these Americans realizing that were manipulated by clever propaganda, that their perceptions had been managed. For instance, the New York Times recently pried loose some 8,000 pages of Pentagon documents revealing how the Bush administration had manipulated the public debate on the Iraq War by planting friendly retired military officers on TV news shows. Retired Green Beret Robert S. Bevelacqua, a former analyst on Murdoch’s Fox News, said the Pentagon treated the retired military officers as puppets: “It was them saying, ‘we need to stick our hands up your back and move your mouth for you.’” [NYT, April 20,

POPSCabinet approves Hisbullah Prisoner Swap Well, if the Israeli *prisoners* are dead, perhaps that's how the Hizbullah's *prisoners should return? Does this make sense? I would want the bodies/bones of my relatives returned to me, but why should live people be traded for dead ones? (only in Israel)

POPSAnother NC Soldier Found Dead What I want to know is, who else came over from Germany on or around June 12 with her? Was it just them or was it a group of soldiers? Did she visit Fort Bragg seven months ago and was just returning to tell "him" she is having his baby? So many questions, not enough answers here.

POPS"Thank God for John McCain" Now that I have gained my bearing back I feel that the least the oil companies could do is put a little bit of money back in our pockets. The following proposals are a few ideas I have come up with. A modest 80% tax on all oil pumped out of Iraq to be paid back to the American taxpayer for our continued support. Establishment of $1 million dollar trust funds for all families of soldiers killed in Iraq. A guaranteed donation each year of all profits in Iraq to the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover PTSD and war related illness. Feel free to add your own proposal.

POPSFund Health Care, Not War # "Until we remove the motive of profit from the financing of health care, we cannot and we will not resolve our current health care crisis." # "Any group that proposes reform policy that maintains the use of for-profit insurance companies in a so-called free market is being driven by one single motive -- to protect the golden coffers of their share of the $2 trillion cash cow!"

POPSFirst British woman killed in Afghanistan With several friends with daughters in the War Zones I will temper my reaction. The situation in Afghanistan will get worse and more families will grieve. I sincerely sympathise with these bereaved families and hope that their families are strong enough to withstand this awful onslaught. If we are fighting terrorism and the scourge of heroin abuse, why are the likes of Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss not charged with/ as accomplices to the soldiers murders? Do these self indulgent personalities not realise that their addictions are costing decent people their lives - and they do not take their evil drugs.

POPSYou have to read this article... The debate has been raging in current times about our increasing dependence as a society on anti depressants and mood altering drugs. So what happens when the powers that be think it's a good idea to numb the pain of soldiers?

At Bagram, when they took a man to interrogation at night, the next morning we would see him brought out on a stretcher looking almost dead," said Aminullah, an Afghan who was held there for a little more than three months. "But at Guantanamo, there were rules, there was law."

POPSSaying “I didn’t know” is no excuse anymore Israel is a factory of evil and cruelty. How is it possible that these are people who constantly whine (and get paid) for what they allege happened to them and they commit EXACTLY the same crimes, with the same level of cruelty against people prevented from defending themselves? Such people do not merit the sympathies of the world. It is a criminal society.
