POPSGlobal Write-a-thon for Amnesty International
Dear Friends, I was detained for more than six years by the U.S. government, primarily in the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. In late 2001, I was a journalist with the news agency al-Jazeera, assigned to cover the war in Afghanistan. While on that assignment, I was detained at the border of Pakistan-Afghanistan, and transferred to U.S. custody. I found that I had entered into a nightmare that would claim six years of my life and place great hardship on my family. Fortunately, Amnesty International and other organizations called attention to my case and campaigned on my behalf. In December last year, my case was featured in Amnesty’s Global Write-a-thon. A few months later, I was released from Guantanamo in May 2008 without any charges. I received more than 20,000 letters from members and supporters of Amnesty International. I received letters from all over the world. These letters really encouraged me during my very difficult time. They made me feel as though I was

POPSObama, Cheney and Bush Related factcheck.org: We wouldn't make too much of this, though. After all, according to at least some researchers, a common ancestor for all humans now alive may have existed just several thousand years ago. That means you, dear reader, could have a cousinly relationship that may not go all that far back to everyone from Jack Kevorkian to Tina Fey to Hugo Chavez to the woman selling trinkets from a piece of cardboard on a Bangalore street corner. Barack Obama related to Brad Pitt, 6 U.S. Presidents, Cheney

POPSSave The Whales Trapped In Arctic Ice For example this emailer identifying herself as Pamela Lewis, who claims a scientific background: Dear Sir: I have a degree in astrophysics. I suggest that you spend money and go to Greenland, the North Pole and Antarctica and see the climate change for yourself. Instead you degrade scientists and don't care about the future of this country. I feel sorry for you and your lack of knowledge. Instead you rather destroy your childrens' future and this planet's future. If you believe in God, shame on you for not taking care of this planet. You would rather see it destroyed. I believe in God and believe in saving the planet as the Lord said we are keepers of this planet. If you don't then you must believe in greed, hatred and hostile racism towards President Elect Obama. Grow up and do scientific studies yourself. Hat tip: Bruce Thompson

POPSHippocratic Oath In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal. If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.

POPSObama Addresses 9/11 Government Complicity Bush says this, "For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping." Bush talks about EXPLOSIVES in building "Seven is Exploding" NYFD say Explosives brought down Towers
