POPSBlink? Not so fast - Why your intuition may be wrong and addictive! Even well respected thinkers and professionals can fall victim to the feeling of being certain, even when there is direct evidence they are wrong. Interesting article on how the feeling of certainty has biological underpinnings that can make it as addictive as drugs. Seems to build on some of the work Kahneman and Tversky did on thinking errors like Self-serving, Expectation , and Wishful Thinking biases.

POPSHostages Suffered Extreme Torture Report Indian Doctors
It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again," he said. Corroborating the doctors' claims about torture was the information that the Intelligence Bureau had about the terror plan. "During his interrogation, Ajmal Kamal said they were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis," an IB source said. On the other hand, there is enough to suggest that the terrorists also did not meet a clean, death. The doctors who conducted the post mortem said the bodies of the terrorists were beyond recognition. "Their faces were beyond recognition." There was no way of identifying them," he said. Asked how, if this is the case, they knew the bodies were indeed those of the terrorists, he said: "The security forces that brought the bodies told us that those were the bodies of the terrorists," he said, adding there was no other way they could have identified the bodies. "Their faces were beyond recognition."

POPSHow the Grinch Stole Health Care There's a scene from the animated version of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" that fits George W. Bush to a tee. The lines from the poem read: And the one speck of food that he left in the house was a crumb that was even too small for a mouse. Then he did the same thing to the other Whos' houses, leaving crumbs much too small for the other Whos' mouses! But in the 1966 televised adaptation of Dr. Seuss' classic, the Grinch actually goes back for that final crumb, leaving the family with... nothing. This scene is remindful of yet another last-minute move by our president to inflict hardship on those less fortunate than he is. (And what an appropriate time of year for Bush to demonstrate his aptitude for misgovernance.)

POPSJustice Called Mukasey "Tyrant!" Before Fainting at Federalist Society
"And now you know...the rest of the (real) story", that was suppressed. The neocon Attorney General had packed his speech before the (plutocratic) Federalist Society, heralding Bush's anti-constitutional policies against "terrorism", before he fainted. But for some reason the MSM kept this hot piece of news buried from public when a David stood alone against Goliath and hurled the just charge against him before the sycophantic Society that disregards supreme law. THAT is what sent Mukasey reeling (doctors said he had nothing wrong), a solid blow to his stiff-necked and lying conscience, that dropped him to the floor moments later. It wasn't until the next morning — when he turned on the TV in his hotel room — that Sanders learned what happened after he departed: Mukasey, later in his speech, began slurring his words, slumped at the podium and passed out. He was taken to a hospital, where he was released the next day after getting a clean bill of health.

POPSIndia: Update On Massive Attacks In Mumbai, India the Oberoi and the Taj Mahal — as well as in Cama Hospital and the Chabad House, where Jews and Israelis are currently being held hostage. Stratfor sources have said that the attackers approached their targets in boats with Pakistani markings; other sources have said the boats might have been registered in Karachi, Pakistan. Eyewitnesses are reporting that approximately 200 people were being held in the Taj Mahal hotel, although 50 have since been released. Another eyewitness reported that the militants in the Taj were seeking out American and British passport holders, so it is possible that the 50 who were released were non-Westerners who did not fit the militants’ hostage profile. Occupants in the Oberoi, Cama Hospital and Chabad House are still being held, with a rumor circulating that Jews in the Chabad House are being killed.

POPSPapua Proposal: A Microchip to Track the HIV-Positive "We have the power to make the laws and we need one to protect healthy people as much as we do the rights of those infected," says Manansang, who has only come across one case of "aggressive" behavior in HIV patients over the course of his 14 years working as a general practitioner at a hospital near Papua's capital. *Monitor* the spread? I don't like the idea of microchipping at all. Who will be next? Criminals? Political dissidents? Protesters?
