POPSRendition suit by innocent man to be re-heard Is there justice in the USA? Canadian citizen, detained in error for two weeks at JFK, then flown by US to Jordan for interrogation, held for 10 months. Restitution paid by Canadians, but court in US held it had no jurisdiction, saying that while at JFK, Arar was not technically in the USA. Totally innocent man - all now agree - abducted by the USA, probably tortured in Jordan. Can the USA say "Oops" and not be held responsible for the abduction and torture of an innocent man? Are we different than Stalin only by degree?

POPSChange We Can Believe In At last it came time to bake the bread. 'Who will help me bake the bread?', asked the little red hen. 'That would be overtime for me' said the cow. 'I'd lose my welfare benefits,' said the duck. 'I'm a dropout and never learned how,' said the pig. 'If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination, ' said the goose. 'Then I will do it by myself,' said the little red hen. She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, 'No, I shall eat all five loaves.' 'Excess profits!' cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi) 'Capitalist leech!' screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer) 'I demand equal rights!' yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson) The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)

POPSPastor Rick Warren's Saddleback Civil Forum
McCain added the two appointments Alito and Roberts are his recent favorites. When asked does evil exist and if so how would handle it? Ignore it, negotiate with it, confront it or defeat it Obama: verbose, wordy ..... he would confront it but also equivocated on what evil is. "We have to have some humility on the issue on the of confronting". Evil has been been committed in the pursuit of good. *sigh* McCain: "DEFEAT IT" huge applause. McCain went on to describe Radical Islam as the greatest threat of the 21at century. He said he would pursue bin Laden “to the gates of Hell,” Gotta love that. Obama's most important advisers: Michelle (the "proud" wife, the grandmother "a typical white person", and then a bumch of politicians - Ted Kennedy, Nunn, Biden et al McCain's most important advisers: Gen. David Petreaus, head of US troops in Iraq; US Rep. and veteran civil rights leader John Lewis, D-Ga.; and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, a top adviser to his campaign.

POPSBush and Blacks The message—both in words and action—is clear, consistent, and stirring . This year he joined forces with Washington D.C.’s black Democratic mayor, Anthony Williams, to win passage of the first federally funded voucher program, which will provide $7,500 each to poor minority children in the nation’s capital, giving them some of the same educational options that their wealthier neighbors enjoy. The Bush administration has also tried hard to help lift Africa out of its deepening misery. Last year, the president pledged $15 billion—a twenty-fold increase from Clinton-era funding levels—to help stem the AIDS pandemic sweeping the continent, and he has sent troops and diplomatic envoys to try to quell violence in Liberia and Sudan. African-relief activist Bob Geldof recently acknowledged, “The Bush administration is the most radical—in a positive sense—in its approach to Africa since Kennedy.”

POPS Newly Released Federal Documents Reveals Julia Child Among Spies They studied military plans, created propaganda, infiltrated enemy ranks and stirred resistance among foreign troops. Among the more than 35,000 OSS personnel files are applications, commendations and handwritten notes identifying young recruits who, like Child, Goldberg and Berg, earned greater acclaim in other fields — Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a historian and special assistant to President Kennedy; Sterling Hayden, a film and television actor whose work included a role in "The Godfather"; and Thomas Braden, an author whose "Eight Is Enough" book inspired the 1970s television series. Other notables identified in the files include John Hemingway, son of author Ernest Hemingway; Quentin and Kermit Roosevelt, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, and Miles Copeland, father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police. The release of the OSS personnel files uncloaks one of the last secrets from the short-lived wartime intelligence agency.

POPSISLAMIC MILITANT - Congressman Alcee Hastings - Mole Threatens D.N.C. Neither Congress nor the U.S. Senate was then, nor has it ever been, "infected by a form of racism" as Congressman Hastings would have you believe. The REAL INFECTION, is a "MOLE" who could topple the D.N.C.'s political goals & objectives, the man who one Broward Physician diagnosed as Hastings' "Brain & Puppetmaster". That man is highly paid REPUBLICAN Chief of Staff for DEMOCRATIC Congressman Hastings...Mr. Art Kennedy. If a subterfuge of DEM PARTY plans for the future is to happen, my opinion is Hasting's REPUBLICAN "MOLE" will be the evil root system that topples the Democratic Party Tree of Future "Positive Change".

January to March 2008 (that's 3 months folks) and Republican Art Kennedy gets a cool $40K for working with (or more aptly stated, being the "Brains" behind) DEM Congressman Hastings mouth? Fiscal Year 2007 subtotal dollars for Art Kennedy is an astounding $160,000.00 (man-oh-man), that's almost the salary of a Congressman! Not bad Art Kennedy ! Not bad for a Re-thug-lican like you who is in all likelyhood doing his darndest best to undermine the Democratic Party through Hastings' Office. Let's all remember Hastings' recent attack against the DNC...his own Party, and then wonder who might have master-minded it ! Anyone care to guess?

POPSAlcee Hastings The "VOTE NO" Congressman Want to know why this old n' used up Congressman voted "NO" on these important issues? It's because Hastings, a Democrat, is being told what to do and say by his REPUBLICAN "Master-Blaster" type Handler & staff member, Mr. Art Kennedy. Go figure! A Re-Thug-Lican telling a Democrat Coruptocrat Congressman what to say and do.

POPSAvoiding ‘CSI Kandahar’ they’ve just invalidated — decided the job is better done by politically unaccountable courts … the better to spare Nadler and his cohort from telling voters exactly what protections they’d lavish on the people trying to kill us. The attorney general begs to differ. The justices ruled that detainees get judicial review, but, as he posits, they “stopped well short of detailing how the habeas corpus proceedings must be conducted.” Many significant questions remain open, and, Mukasey rightly insists, “it is well within the historic role and competence of Congress and the executive branch to attempt to resolve them.” LAYING DOWN MARKERS The Justice Department has to live with the chaos caused by Boumediene’s dumping of approximately 270 combatants on the district courts with no guidance about how the cases should be handled. Fans of Kennedy & Co. laughably point to this as a demonstration of the high Court’s restraint. In Justice Antonin Scalia’s apt dissenting phrase

POPSDumb And Dumbercrat "Mr. Kennedy is the puppet-master who controls Hastings' strings. In many ways, winning a debate against Mr. Kennedy is more politically significant than winning a debate against Hastings." "If you will allow me to describe their working relationship in medical terms, my opponent is the mouth and Mr. Kennedy is the brain." Are you aware of Mr. Kennedy's political affiliation? "Though he calls the shots for...Democrat...Hastings, Kennedy is a long-time Republican... the plot thickens." Take care, my friend. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr., MD MPH U.S. Congressional Candidate Let's do a little homework on this, shall we? Using an incredible new tool called an Internet Search Engine, we first find a list of campaign donations made by one Art Kennedy of Fort Lauderdale, FL. Art Kennedy's occuption? Alcee Hastings' Congressional Staff Member. As was also the case in 2000. Interesting. In 2000, Kennedy donated only to Republicans including George W. Bush.

POPSSupremes Blow a Big One The existence of this federal statute by itself significantly undercuts the Court's reasoning in Kennedy. Moreover, as the Washington Post observed in an editorial earlier this month, it appears that the Court's decision invalidates an act of Congress based on the erroneous claim that the statute did not exist. Terry Eastland notes that the state of Louisiana has now petitioned the Supreme Court to rehear the case on account of its factual error:

POPSMilitary Death Penalty
Gray -- this is Gray's legal issue. This is the first time a president has approved a military death sentence since President Eisenhower approved Army Private John A. Bennett's death sentence on 2 July 1957. PVT Bennett was executed at the USDB on 13 April 1961 after President Kennedy declined to grant clemency. Article 71(a) of the UCMJ provides, "the sentence providing for death may not be executed until approved by the President." 10 U.S.C. § 871(a). The last time a president acted under Article 87(a) was on 12 February 1962, when President Kennedy commuted a Sailor's death sentence to confinement for life. Gray was sentenced to death by a court-martial at Fort Bragg, NC, on 12 April 1988. The Army Court of Military Review affirmed Gray's death sentence in two opinions isused in 1992 and 1993. United States v. Gray, 37 M.J. 730 (A.C.M.R. 1992); United States v. Gray, 37 M.J. 751 (A.C.M.R. 1993). CAAF affirmed Gray's death sentence in a 3-2 opinion in 1999. United States

POPSBush OKs Execution Of Army Death Row Prisoner President Kennedy was the last president to stare down this life-or-death decision. On Feb. 12, 1962, Kennedy commuted the death sentence of Jimmie Henderson, a Navy seaman, to confinement for life. President Eisenhower was the last president to approve a military execution. In 1957, he approved the execution of John Bennett, an Army private convicted of raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl. He was hanged in 1961.
