POPSIntelligence Investigations Should Target Top Deciders I understand the urge to appear to be going on partisan witch hunts, but if those in the previous administration who willingly violated our constitution repeatedly are not brought to justice, it will happen again. And again, and again, and again...

POPSU.S. Perpetuates Mass Killings In Iraq
I couldn't care less who wins the elections. Looking at both candidates, it seems America isn't the least bit interested in real change. Is anyone asking the candidates about what they are going to do about the US' slow but steady slide into fascism? Or about limiting presidential power? Or about banning torture? Or about the return of Habeus Corpus? Or about extraordinary renditions and secret prisons? Or about preemptive aggression? Or about making your war criminals pay for their crimes? Hmm? Anyone? No. No. Let's just keep it entertaining, low key and unsubstantial. Let's talk about lipstick! Yeah! Blacks vs whites, Democrats vs Republicans, pro-life vs pro-choice, Christians vs atheists blah blah blah... "Divide and conquer!". The power elite working behind the scenes have that pat down and the US citizenry is blissfully (perhaps willingly) oblivious... *shaking my head in disbelief* Oops! No time to comment any more! The O'Reilly Factor's on! No spin! Really!

POPSObama: "That's what we're protecting!" Writer says: "This is what first drew me to Obama: his ability to speak fearlessly and unapologetically on behalf of truth and of the principles that make this country a place worth living in."

POPSDid 9/11 Alter the Content of Our Dreams? Did 9/11 alter our dreams? IMO yes. The U.S government milked the event for all it was worth and used it to turn our dreams into nightmares. ...Except for the military industrial complex. For them, it was a dream come true. Their bottom lines have never been better. How about yours? The Iraq war alone, costs the average American family appr. $275 a month. What exactly are you getting for that money? Hello homeland security. Goodbye liberty Hello preemptive lie-based occupations. Goodbye morality and decency. Hello surveillance. Goodbye privacy. Hello Gitmo Goodbye justice Hello torture Goodbye human rights Hello rendition Goodbye habeus corpus... Hello??

POPSWhy Jose Padilla's 17-Year Sentence Should Disgust all Americans Is a corrupted US-American "justice" making the U.S.A. a terrorist rogue state? But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt ... that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation ... And so let freedom ring ... from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. --Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Aug. 28, 1963

POPSWhen Habeas Corpus is suspended The right of Habeas Corpus is the right a person has to make a petition against unlawful detention:They have the right to be represented by a lawyer, and historically, has been an instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary state action. ' Due to 'national security concerns, and zero tolerance, the right of Habeus corpus has been suspended.' For every U.S. Citizen

POPSCourt Rules Against Bush Administration. What in hell is the president's problem? He's already eliminated habeus corpus, taken away our right to privacy over the airwaves. I'm actually surprised they finally drew a line. I wonder what's next?

POPSGuantanaamo bay trials? Wouldn't have been better to show the world how truly civilized we are? Why stoop down to their level? Aren't we, as Americans, better than that?

POPSGuantanamo - Is it true? This site didn't lend itself to clipping, so you'll have to go to the site. Listen to a song, sung by Anne Linnet, who put music to a poem written by a Guantanamo prisoner named Usama Abu Kabir. You can read the lyrics to the left. The page isn't in English, but the "play" triangle is easy to find on the right.

POPSAre you a Patriot or a Loyalist? For anyone who dares to call peaceful protesters wackos or delusional, I would dare to differ and perhaps even call them cowards or traitors. The whole article is worth a read. These considerations would aptly apply to anyone, anywhere and in any country. Always.

POPSFirst They Came for the Lawyers The words of Martin Niemoller are the exact reason, why I clip stuff like this and I can hear that little quote too in the back of my mind that goes: "Evil thrives, when good men do nothing" Gitmo, CIA secret prisons, FEMA detention camps, extraordinary rendition, the MCA and cases like José Padila's just have to be challenged by everyone, all the time. They just have to...

POPSInternational Criminal Tribunal For Afghanistan at Tokyo My personal opinion, Good ole' George got rid of habeus corpus not to help further the need of homeland security, but to cover his own butt after being found guilty of the above. He cannot be considered accountable if the Geneva Conventions etc...are no longer in place.

POPSOlbermann on the military commissions act Olbermann does it again ... A "special investigation" on the topic: "What is Habeas Corpus, and why does it hate America?" Luckily, we no longer have to worry about Habeas Corpus messing with our freedom.
