POPS Prosecutions All Around! about waterboarding for years and did nothing. Politico with an inconvenient update: Two unnamed officials told the paper that Pelosi, then a member of the Democratic minority, didn’t raise substantial objections … Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said. Pelosi in a further update claims that while she didn’t object, someone else did, later, and she likes that.

POPSIslands at Risk: Genetic Engineering in Hawaii Produced for Earthjustice, a non-profit public interest law firm, this half-hour program focuses on experiments with genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) in Hawai’i, a place that has been named the GMO testing capitol of the world because of the more than 2,000 secret experimental field tests carried out over the past decade. Farmers, legal and medical experts and community activists share their perspective on the genetic engineering of crops and the patenting of life forms. In addition, they warn against the possible health impacts of GMOs, including allergic and immune system responses from exposure to biopharmaceutical crops —both in humans and in Hawai’i’s endangered species — and contamination of regular food crops such as papaya, taro, coffee and corn with genetically modified versions of those crops.

"The FBI is now investigating 24 large mortgage lenders for alleged abuses. But who will investigate the pols and the lobbyists and the community agitators who made the bad decisions that ultimately forced businesses to make their bad decisions?"

POPSBack-lash for Bailouts, GOP Senator Introduces Bill to Prevent Fed Bailouts Bush is getting justly lashed by both republicans and democrats for by-passing Congress and nationalizing AIG and approving bailouts--without consulting with the elected representatives of the people! (The Fed rules Washington is why). Almost buried in this article is that Kentucky republican Sen. Jim Bunning is introducing a bill to prevent the Fed from bailing out firms with taxpayer (i.e. printed) money. Good! Tell Congress to pass it right away Great quote by him: "The only difference between what the Fed did and what Hugo Chavez is doing in Venezuela is Chavez doesn't put taxpayer dollars at risk when he takes over companies. He just takes them," Bunning said.

POPSNotes On Terror "For more than two years, the Republican chairman of the committee, Senator Pat Roberts, made sure that a report would never be finished. It has now been in the hands of his replacement, Democrat Jay Rockefeller, for nearly a year, and there is still no report. That means Americans still don’t know whether Mr. Bush deliberately hyped and distorted the intelligence on Iraq or was also misinformed."

POPSDubai threat to hit back.. There isn't any security risk here... the media coerced the nation into fear. Now instead of the State Dept or the Bush Administration instilling fear into us, the media has taken over. Shame on them for destroying this opportunity.
