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."

POPSHuman Rights Watch report on Venezuela: An echo of US propaganda This concerns me. HRW obviously has a strong reputation but this article questions its report on Venezuela. This article is quite convincing in its dealings with the HRW report. I sympathise with Latin American countries in the USA's backyard having once done a stint as a brigadista in Nicaragua in 1985

POPSWar is a Racket Wars are really a continuous stream of coordinated acts of terrorism, related to money and power instigated by the people who will benefit from the war and its expected end result. War is an instrument to expand economic power by destroying the national institutions and intelligent people of the victimized nation.

POPSFARC Hostage Ingrid Betancourt Freed But in becoming so famous, the 46-year-old Ms. Betancourt also became more valuable to the FARC, which was feeling the heat from the government under U.S.-ally President Álvaro Uribe (who, it so happened, hosted Sen. John McCain on Tuesday). FARC funds itself largely through drug trafficking and kidnapping, but despite such activities had found a friend in Hugo Chávez. The Venezuelan president and FARC had sought to use the selective release of hostages to get governments allied with him, such as Ecuador and Nicaragua, to grant the group diplomatic recognition -- a move that, if followed by other countries in the region, would undermine the Colombian government's offensive against the FARC and by extension U.S. influence in the region. Mr. Chavez had declared his motives to be purely humanitarian; but, in any event, it is the Colombian military that has now done the selective releasing.

POPSToo Late For Pelosi?
Make no mistake: Latin American leaders will take notice. There is currently an ideological struggle raging across the region. While the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, tries to export his populist-authoritarian "revolution" — he has found eager clients in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Nicaragua — Colombia continues to show that democracy and free markets offer the best path to economic and social progress. Until a few years ago, the narco-terrorists appeared to be gaining ground and pushing Colombian democracy toward the point of collapse. Bogotá, Medellín, and other cities were being ripped apart by chaos and violence. But thanks to the resilience of the Colombian people, huge amounts of American aid money, and, most critically, the courageous leadership of the president of Colombia, Álvaro Uribe, the country has begun to turn the tide in its decades-long battle. This is the only approach that can yield sustainable results in the quest for democratic and social improvement.
