POPSGermany’s Green Party Elects First Ethnic Turk as Leader With a conservative party’s choice of Angela Merkel to run as chancellor in 2005 — a successful gambit — and now an ethnic Turk at the helm of an influential party, it appears that German society is slowly breaking with the past, when women were inconspicuous and immigrants’ voices were seldom heard.

POPSFederal Air Marshals Too Busy Being Criminals to Protect You The Federal Air Marshal Service presents the image of an elite undercover force charged with making split-second decisions that could mean the difference between stopping a terrorist and shooting an innocent passenger. The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general also flagged gaps in the background checks. "We can reassure the public that these dedicated professionals go out there every day and put their lives on the line to make sure that everyone is safe," Bray says. Before 9/11, the Air Marshal Service was a nearly forgotten force of 33 agents with a $4.4 million annual budget. Now housed in the Transportation Security Administration, the agency has a $786 million budget and an estimated 3,000 to 4,000 air marshals, although the official number is classified.

POPSI'm the sheriff, I can do what I want Haidl told jurors he and Carona made an initial list of 86 people — friends, family and contributors to Carona — who should become reserves. In 2001, a state commission decertified 86 reserves because of a lack of training and failure to pass background checks. It was unclear Friday whether that group was the same 86 mentioned in Haidl’s testimony. Haidl had earlier testified that he and Carona wanted to expand the program to 1,000 people, and that they wanted reservists to be mostly professionals who could donate a total of $1 million to Carona’s future campaign coffers
