POPSUS-backed Colombian soldiers execute innocent for cash At the heart of the problem is the Colombian government’s practice of paying soldiers for dead bodies of FARC members. Predictably, the incentive has led some soldiers to kill innocent civilians, dress their bodies up as FARC rebels, and hand them in for cash.

POPSNazi Stealth Jet Could Have Won War for Hitler This craft did test fly in Germany during the war, but when one prototype had a flameout in one of its engines, the resultant crash landing killed its test pilot. This plane looks remarkably like the British Swallow. The "Tailless Swallow" is the craft that killed Geoffrey De Havilland when he was trying to break the sound barrier. It broke apart in mid air and ended Britains attempts at breaking the sound barrier...

POPSIs God Trying To Talk To Someone In America? What's worse, many pastors avoid talking to their congregations about repentance and self sacrifice. So, like the vampire Lasat, they drain them of true spiritual life, while seducing them with voter-pamphlet sermons and feel-good theology. The organized church is in big trouble today--the message of repentance is a flat subject among churchgoers. People want to pull a voting lever, offer vocal support for whatever politician pays lip service to a few hot-button social issues, and shout hallelujah as they drive off in their Lincoln. Satan smiles and waves as they go by. What America needs is a repentant, spiritual church, not the political arm of a dominionist cult. Want to argue that point? Do it with the God who says, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

POPSOregon man gets his wallet back after losing in 1946 at middle school gym rather than focus on what was inside the wallet, Fulton said the recovery has led him to reflect on his life — one that took him to the Korean War and Berlin before a return to Baker City. He worked at Ellingson Lumber Company for 30 years, from March 1964 to April 1994. Since his retirement, Fulton has enjoyed spending time with his 11-year-old black lab, Smokey. The two often hike the nearby mountains. Trindle's knock on the door, wallet in hand, induced a slight ripple in his life, prompting him to consider times he hadn't thought about in many years. Fulton said he's "covered a lot of country" since 1946. "Where did all the time go?" Fulton said with a deep sigh. "It's hard to believe that the times have gone so fast."

POPSSouth Korea Gets 40 U.S. Missiles For Destroyer - North Korea Threatens Japan I wonder if we just aren't giving N Korea every opportunity to develop a weapon they can and will use against S Korea. Thus, drawing the U.S. into a regional war again. Seems there is nothing short of declaring war ourselves that will stop the "idiot" little weasel of a dictator, Kim Jong-il, of N. Korea. Inevitably, any conflict with N. Korea will put the U.S. at odds with China. They don't publicly approve of all what N. Korea does, but the country does provide a buffer zone between the West and Communist China.

POPSBye, Bye Babylon Looking back over six years of good intentions, tragic errors, generosity, arrogance, partisan vituperation, painful deaths and ultimate vindication, two things strike me: the ever-resisted lesson that human affairs are more complex than academic theories claim, and the simple truth that most human beings prefer a measure of freedom to immeasurable repression. Now the symbolism of our troops withdrawing from Iraq's cities is richer than Washington grasps. Mesopotamia created urban culture: Ur, Babylon, Nineveh and countless lesser-known sites are where humans first worked out ways to live together in close quarters in large numbers. The coming wave of terror will strike cities that make Baghdad seem a youngster. The "cradle of civilization" is rising from the grave again. Yes, sectarianism, old grievances and the greed for power may deliver future crises -- even an eventual civil war.

The Hurt Locker is a riveting, suspenseful portrait of the courage under fire of the military’s most unrecognized heroes: the technicians of the bomb squad, who volunteer to challenge the odds and save lives in one of the world’s most dangerous places. Three members of the Army’s elite Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad battle insurgents and each other as they seek out and disarm a wave of roadside bombs on the streets of Baghdad -- in order to try and make the city a safer place for Iraqis and Americans alike. Their mission is clear - protect and save - but it’s anything but easy, for the margin of error on a war-zone bomb is zero. A thrilling and heart-thumping look at the effects of combat and danger on the human psyche,
