POPS15 Bogeymen From Around The World There are many theories about the origin of the word “bogeyman.” One is that it devolved from “buggy man,” the driver of the cart picking up corpses during the Black Plague that decimated Europe. As in the United States, the bogeyman may be nothing more clearly defined than a mist or fog, scratching at windows, or he is sometimes thought of as a tall, gaunt, scarecrow-like man.

POPS Alleged Hacking-Terror Effort Twarted According to the U.S. indictment, Mahmoud Nusier, 40; Paul Michael Kwan, 27; and Nancy Gomez, 24, conspired to break into the phone systems at 2,500 entities in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe. Philippines authorities have alleged that Mr. Nusier, a Jordanian citizen, has ties to al Qaeda. All three were arrested last year by Philippines law enforcement and are currently free on bail. U.S. officials are seeking their extradition, said people familiar with the matter. The hacked entities included the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, whose phone system was breached last August, according to a person familiar with the matter. The hackers would probe an organization's electronic phone networks to find unused or insufficiently password-protected phone lines and reprogram them to provide remote access to their counterparts in Italy. They would then sell the phone service through call centers and via phone cards, pocketing the profit

POPSText Message To Capture Team, "I am with KSM" His cooperation came in fits and starts, and interrogators said they believed at times that he gave them disinformation. But he talked most freely to Martinez. The intelligence riches ultimately gleaned mount to a detailed history of Mohammed's initiation into terrorism along with his nephew, Yousef; his plotting of mayhem from Bosnia to the Philippines and his alliance with Osama bin Laden. Mohammed also claimed a role in a long list of completed and thwarted attacks, including the beheading of Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter Martinez told colleagues that Mohammed volunteered out of the blue that he was the man who killed Pearl. Intelligence analysts eventually were convinced because Mohammed pointed out to Martinez details of the hand and arm of the masked killer in a videotape of the murder that appeared to show it was him. For now, Deuce Martinez teaches other CIA analysts the arcane art of tracking terrorists.

POPSAmerica Defeated: How Terrorists Turned a Superpower's Strengths Against Itself
President Bush announced this virtual war three days after September 11, 2001, in the National Cathedral in Washington, appropriately enough, when he told Americans that "our responsibility to history is already clear: to answer these attacks and rid the world of evil." Astonishing words from a world leader -- declaring that he would "rid the world of evil." is National Security Strategy, issued a few months later, was careful to specify that "the enemy is not a single political regime or person or religion or ideology. The enemy is terrorism -- premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against innocents." Again, a remarkable statement, as many commentators were quick to point out; for declaring war on "terrorism" -- a technique of war, not an identifiable group or target -- was simply unprecedented, and, indeed, bewildering in its implications. Declaring war on terrorism is like declaring war on air power.

POPSMan Crucified for the 22nd Time "Of course when we express our faith to the Lord the Church does not want us to hurt ourselves for us to experience the Love of God. But we cannot question somebody's faith. It's just an expression of their faith. We do not lead their lives so we do not know what happens to them while experiencing that, so we might as well respect it." Hmmm . . . the Church seems to be talking out of both sides of their mouths here. I think the point is that you don't have to go on these self-mutliating missions to thank God for having your "prayer's answered".
