POPS The Camel In The Room 
His former imam from the Falls Church, Virginia mosque where he once worshipped has said so, and indeed has said that, as a Muslim, Major Hasan could do nothing else other than what he did. Note this phrase from the title: “US Terrorist Army Base.” Major Hasan is a psychiatrist, so he should know that projection–literally, “throwing off on the other person”–is one of the most common defenses that people employ when they think, or especially do, things of which they should, at the very least, be ashamed. But the most damning piece of evidence was Hasan’s infamous “Grand Rounds” that he delivered back in 2007 while at Walter Reed Hospital, titled “The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military.” In that presentation, which any reader can view in its entirety at the above link, Hasan repeatedly cited and often quoted surah and ayah (i.e., chapter and verse) from the Koran to justify some very forthright, even brazen commentary on the relationships

POPSEmraan and Soha indulge When director Kunal Deshmukh informed Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan that for their film Tum Mile , they would have to indulge in some 'twisted postures', the actors certainly wouldn't have guess what was their in the offering. And no, before they could begin worrying about the intentions of Deshmukh and the Bhatts, Emraan and Soha could afford to breathe easy when told that it was just going to be a game after all. A game, which was called 'Twister', and was required to be played for a key sequence in the romantic number 'Tu Hi Haqeeqat'.

POPSSlasher Politics Per Jigsaw’s instructions, turncoat Detective Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) shepherds the insurance company nitwits to their demise. No reason why the ”Saw” franchise shouldn’t jump on the pop-culture Obama cheerleading train like everyone else in La-la with a little B-flick health-care advocacy. And with the loan officer thing, there’s something for everyone! One thing slasher fans may want to bear in mind, though. When your gaping, bloody saw wounds need to be stitched and stapled up, do you really want to wait in line for the lowest bidder? Boston Herald’s Tenley Woodman gives Saw VI a “D.” No, not for the feel-good politics embedded in the middle of a feel-bad extravaganza. … it is the depraved acts and gore that make these films objectionable. Hate to quibble, but I think that’s what makes them marketable.

POPSHoliday Accident Claims If you were on holiday and had an accident, so long as what you were doing at the time was part of the “holiday package” and booked through the tour operator, you may be able to claim compensation against them as they are responsible for the shortcomings of the agents and hotels they use.

POPS10 Mediveval Torture Devices
More from the article: Some courts used torture to determine if someone accused of a crime was truly guilty. This torture would take strange forms: Someone's arm would be forced into boiling water, and the verdict would be based on how well the arm healed days later. Other courts simply tortured people to get them to confess to the crime. The courts themselves even recognized, in their twisted way, that a confession given under torture held no legal meaning. Such a confession had to be confirmed by the victims while not being tortured within 24 hours. If they refused, however, they were simply tortured until they confessed again People were often tortured to force religious conversions. They also faced torture because they may have committed heresy against the established church. Thousands were tortured during the Inquisition on the pretext of religious heresy or conversion, although Inquisitors in general were often motivated by more earthly concerns - they took over the estates

POPSReminder: Roman Polanski Raped a Child "I understand the victim's feelings on this. And I sympathize, I do. But for good or ill, the justice system doesn't work on behalf of victims; it works on behalf of justice"... The point is not to keep 76-year-old Polanski off the streets or help his victim feel safe. The point is that drugging and raping a child, then leaving the country before you can be sentenced for it, is behavior our society should not -- and at least in theory, does not -- tolerate, no matter how famous, wealthy or well-connected you are, no matter how old you were when you finally got caught, no matter what your victim says about it now, no matter how mature she looked at 13, no matter how pushy her mother was, and no matter how many really swell movies you've made... Polanski raped a child. And rushing past that point to focus on the reasons why we should forgive him, pity him, respect him, admire him, support him, whatever, is absolutely twisted.

POPSMore Details Released On Sparkman Lynching Poor guy, what he must have gone through before he died..... And all for a temp job to make a few bucks. Sick, twisted, nauseating. All those media mouths that convince the unbalanced that they would be heroes for doing what was done to this guy, have a lot to answer for. And I'll bet they're pretty proud of their power to instigate cruelty and murder. What courageous patriots they are. What a flagrant display of contempt for the responsibility of bringing information to the people. Yep, they really showed Sparkman, the government and the rest of the world exactly what they stand for.

POPSTwisted Spirit of Hate and Fear Will Not Fade Away Everyone wants to be on the 11 o'clock news it seems. If police had not mis-characterized the bullying attack on a school bus, would these wannabe American Nazi bullies have had a rally that was successful for them? If local news had gotten the story correct earlier would the march had taken place. We have no shortage of looonies filled with hate and fear; we do have a shortage of newspeople who have respect for anything other than getting on first by pandering to the worst.

POPSStop pumping our money to them! Yes, this is disgusting and must be condemned in every corner of the world. But first of all I don't want to pay for insane exercises of deranged fanatics with twisted indoctrinated brains. They didn't answer yet for already committed crimes against humanity. This is clear sign of apartheid, let's call things by their own names.. :cool:

POPS Najibullah Zazi Indicted in Terror Plot NYPD raids in Queens last week turned up nine backpacks and cell phones, raising fears of a potential attack in the city's sprawling subway system. Authorities withheld the targets of the plot. But sources had told the Daily News that Zazi did computer searches involving baseball stadiums - and carried maps of other New York venues on his computer. Whatever the target, "Zazi took substantial steps toward carrying out the plan," according to a government memorandum demanding his immediate incarceration. The feds painted the bearded Zazi, 24, as a mad bomber whipping up batches of lethal explosives over a stove inside an Aurora, Colo., hotel suite. While inside the suite on Sept. 6-7, Zazi tried several times to reach an unidentified individual "seeking \ correct mixture of ingredients to make explosives," a government memorandum said. "Each communication \ more urgent in tone than the last." Traces of bomb-making material were discovered in a vent .

POPSUN Says No Nukes! Now What? I think this is big news. U.S. President Obama might consider this the high point of his foreign policy, right now. But "the devil is in the details," -- the reality remains to be seen -- and are all these world leaders going to continue to pretend that Israel doesn't have nukes? This resolution could be twisted to become another excuse to go to war with Iran? Make life difficult for Iran? Or maybe actual steps to get rid of the world threat of weapons that are too dangerous to use? Certainly, the propaganda would make us fear "Islamic terrorist," running around with nukes in a suitcase -- and on the other side of the coin the "secret," not to be mentioned by the West, possession of nuies by unreasonable zionist extremist doesn't set well with many.

POPSWhy Did This Woman Have 15 Abortions in 16 Years? Vilar's description of what happened "after her 9th and 10th abortions" is disturbing, but what happened before then — how did she get to nine? Did the cycle of self-destruction actually began much earlier, was her husband uncooperative about birth control, did they decide to try for children and then back off? And, given that Vilar is obviously an extreme case, do these questions matter at all to the larger abortion debate?
