POPSMore Mud Slung At McCain (Ties to Nazi Collaborators) McCain has said previously he resigned from the council in 1984 and asked in 1986 to have his name removed from the group's letterhead. "I didn't know whether (the group's activity) was legal or illegal, but I didn't think I wanted to be associated with them," McCain said in a newspaper interview in 1986. Singlaub does not recall any McCain resignation in 1984 or May 1986. Nor does Joyce Downey, who oversaw the group's day-to-day activities. "That's a surprise to me," Singlaub said. "This is the first time I've ever heard that. There may have been someone in his office communicating with our office." "I don't ever remember hearing about his resigning, but I really wasn't worried about that part of our activities, a housekeeping thing," said Singlaub. "If he didn't want to be on the board that's OK. It wasn't as if he had been active participant and we were going to miss his help. He had no active interest. He certainly supported us."

POPS"Democratic Iraq" promoting Islamic deathsquads against gays Reporter Peter Tatchell- Saddam Hussein was a bloody tyrant. I campaigned against his blood-stained misrule for nearly 30 years. But while Saddam was president, there was certainly no danger of gay people being assassinated in their homes and in the street by religious fanatics. Since his overthrow, the violent persecution of lesbians and gays is much worse. Even children suspected of being gay are abducted and later found shot in the head.

POPSIsraeli and US Death Squads Infesting the World Yes, "infesting" is the right word. No laws. No restraints. Just the whim of the most hateful and greediest people the world has ever known. There is not one single crime against humanity which the US and Israel hesitates to commit in ANY country they damn well please. You want to know true evil? Start here.

POPSIsraeli Death Squads: Nobody does it better I hope not one more person complains about death squads anywhere in the world while leaving out the death squads of Israel (which they usually do). When it comes to death squads and false flag operations, nobody on the entire planet does it better than god's chosen conscienceless murderers and thieves.

POPSBefore & Now! Leave? BEFORE: free healthcare, free education, better electricity and water services, security of law and order INVASION: No health, little education, power by the hour, some water, no law, no order. US; 4,000 dead military plus 10s of 1,000 of broken in mind and body. Iraq; 100,000 dead, displaced? Both America and Iraq broken for how long? Why again? WMD? Oil? Israel? Democracy? Regime change? Why not a Mossad assassins bullet if Saddam was ever the problem? CIA had no qualms before although Castro shows their incompetence at illegal regime change.

POPS40,000 march against government in Colombia The 2nd largest recipient of US military aid, and its people must take to the streets to protest its paramilitaries and death squads (i.e., your US tax dollars at work.) They demonstrate against the US-backed government, pleading "We want democracy."

POPSIraqi Women Quietly Endure Horrors of War
Zangana also puts into perspective what the number of civilian deaths means in Iraq, which some estimates suggest eclipsed 1 million people. She cites a 2006 report that stated more than 90 women become widows each day. "Since men are the main target of US led troops, militias and death squads…It is women who have come to bury the dead. Baghdad has become a city of bereaved women," writes Zangana. Women are also bearing the brunt of the ongoing refugee crisis. According to an Iraqi Red Crescent report titled "The Internally Displaced People in Iraq" released Jan. 27, there are more than 2 million internally displaced peoples (refugees), while women and children under the age of 12 compose roughly 82 percent of this staggering number. But I would be doing Iraqi women and Zangana's "City of Windows" a disservice by solely focusing on suffering and their role as victims. Because despite the web of destruction, violence and repression Iraqi women face on a daily basis, we must not

POPSPakistan: Al-Qaeda claims Bhutto's death For what it's worth from a previous clip. To create this kind of turmoil and uprisings in Pakistan gives the jihadists just what they sought....an opportunity to move in and strengthen their arm of power there.

POPSIraqi Gays Receive Asylum in Britain With all the problems and mayhem in Iraq, what a shame that innocent gay people, who have caused no one any problems, have to seek asylum in a foreign country in order to escape persecution and death. Thank you Great Britain for keeping your perspectives clear, and your hearts open.

POPSBaghdad death-squad killings on the rise One of the major objectives of the surge was to end, or at least reduce, killings by death squads in the capital. However, since the surge began, the killings unfortunately seem to be increasing instead. Northern MNF commander Mixon says he needs more troops than he's getting.

POPSUS corporations accused of hiring death squads in Colombia Via Max Sawicky Fruit giant Chiquita agreed in March to pay $25 million to settle with the U.S. Department of Justice after acknowledging that its Colombian subsidiary, Banadex, secretly funneled $1.7 million to the death squads operating in zones where it had banana plantations. In 2001, a Banadex ship was used to unload 3,000 rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition for the paramilitaries. At the time, the paramilitaries were consolidating control of the Uraba banana region through massacres and assassinations. Chiquita later sold Banadex but still buys Colombian bananas. Cincinnati-based Chiquita says it was a victim of paramilitary extortion. In a statement it said its payments to the militias "were always motivated by our good faith concern for the safety of our employees."

POPSOn the Baghdad Attacks that killed 200 If I say "everything we've done in Iraq is a failure," that isn't quite right - Fallujah out of all places has been pacified at various points, and more tribal leaders are working with the Coalition. The reawakening of Al-Qaeda on such a spectacular scale is severely problematic, though. One has to wonder if they are working closely with al-Sadr's people, as it was Sunni insurgents that left Zarqawi out to dry when he was no use, and it is the al-Sadr militia and its "representatives" that just withdrew from the government.

POPSUSA SUPPORT COLUMBIAN DRUG LORD & MASS MURDERER LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT: The USA is supporting a dictator who also commands his own death squads and he the country's leading Drug Boss. Yup....that what this story says. What a surprise, my gosh. Our tax dollars at work. Another great example of the USA spreading peace and democracy and joy around the wold. Another example of TRUTH being trampled by blood and bullets.
