POPSMinnesota Prosecution of Activists Leads Way to Characterize Dissent as Terrorism (cont.)As the ACLU revealed in 2006, the Pentagon has surveilled Americans opposed to the Iraq war, including Quakers and student groups, and has shared this information with other government agencies through the Threat and Local Observation Notice (TALON) database. As well, the FBI “has collected extensive information on the tactics, training and organization of antiwar demonstrators and has advised local law enforcement officials to report any suspicious activity at protests to its counterterrorism squads, according to interviews and a confidential bureau memorandum,” Eric Lichtblau reported in November, 2003.

POPSCandidate promises of "greater," Iraq withdrawal
First actual real vote for USA president in two days, in the state of Iowa. Then in about a month most of the other major states will have decided. It hard to know who to vote for, esp. with the high level of deceit, deception and false promises in politics. When Hilary Clinton says and claims she wants to get out of Iraq it appears to mean to reduce troops by 50%. When Obama says he wants to get out of Iraq it sounds like troop reductions to 25%; and no more free lunches for war profiteers. Now, bold Johnny Edwards promises an 88% troop withdrawal, with more name-changers as to what we call these troops (i.e., call them 'trainers,' rather than combat troops; call them counterterrorist forces rather than an occupying arms, etc.) Is this like 'withdrawing,' from sex but still having sex? Or stopping smoking, but just smoke less? Eating on a diet, etc.? guess this is progress in Alice in Wonderland. But we still have to vote for the most reasonable lies we like, I sup

POPSAl Qaeda Resurgent Is this how you should fight a war on "Terrorism" ?? ======================================================= "Having failed to finish off Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Washington now finds itself fighting Qaeda-affiliated groups on multiple fronts, most recently in Somalia. Al Qaeda’s comeback in Pakistan is a devastating indictment of Mr. Bush’s grievously flawed strategies and misplaced Iraq obsession. Unless the president changes course, the dangers to America and its friends will continue to multiply." =======================================================

POPSCanadian Spies Exposed Interesting to learn that Ian Fleming was trained in intelligence in Ontario, Canada. And amusing to read that "police work and intelligence work seemed to clash with each other", although I realize that intelligence in this context is referring to espionage. :D
