POPSArab League to meet over Sudan ICC issue Sudan’s appointment of a special prosecutor was seen as concession that would provide leverage to the Arab League and African Union (AU) when requesting a resolution from the UN Security Council (UNSC) deferring Al-Bashir’s indictment under Article 16 of the ICC Statute. Sabdarat said today that the prosecutions have made some progress with some suspects in detention and being investigated. He also lashed out at Ocampo saying that he crossed his limits as a prosecutor by discussing his case on “satellite TV’s”. The ICC Pre-Trial Chamber I headed held a closed meeting with Ocampo this week regarding his application for the first time. It is expected that they may take up to three months to issue a decision. Sudan has not ratified the Rome Statute, but the UNSC triggered the provisions under the Statute that enables it to refer situations in non-State parties to the world court if it deems that it is a threat to international peace and security.

POPS Palin Goes After Obama-Ayers Connectionby
merrie Yesterday 1:27 AM

Gov. Sarah Palin unleashed a new attack on Sen. Barack Obama, accusing him of "palling around with terrorists" for his association with former 1960s radical William Ayers. The Obama campaign immediately denounced the attack as "shameless" and "offensive." "Americans need to know this." Palin cited a front-page article in today’s New York Times that explored the ties between Obama and Ayers. Obama had served on a charity board with Ayers in Chicago during the mid-90s, and Ayers was present at an organizing meeting in 1995 to kick off Obama's first election campaign for the Illinois State Senate. "There has been a lot of interest in what I read, and what I read lately well, was reading my copy of today’s New York Times and I was really interested to read about Barack's friends from Chicago," Palin said. "OK, now I get to bring this up not to pick a fight, but it was there in the New York Times, so we're gonna talk about it.

POPS Obama and Ayers: A Radical Pentagon Bomber NYTimes

Steve Chapman, a columnist for The Chicago Tribune, defended Mr. Obama’s relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., his longtime pastor, whose black liberation theology and “God damn America” sermon became notorious last spring. But he denounced Mr. Obama for associating with Mr. Ayers, whom he said the University of Illinois should never have hired. “I don’t think there’s a statute of limitations on terrorist bombings,” Mr. Chapman said in an interview. The Schools Project The Ayers-Obama connection first came to public attention last spring, when both Senator Hilary Rodham Clinton, Mr. Obama’s Democratic primary rival, and Mr. McCain brought it up. the archives of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge at the University of Illinois were opened to rese

POPSPutin warns Ukraine over arms Pointing to a report published in Russia's Izvestiya newspaper this week, Mr Putin said Ukrainian weapons and military experts may have been used in combat against Russian troops during the brief war with Georgia in August. "If this is confirmed, this will be what I have called a crime, because this is termed 'direct involvement in an armed conflict', pitting the Russian and Ukrainian peoples against each other," he added. If Russia received proof of Ukraine's military involvement, Moscow would "build its relations accordingly with those who allowed this to happen", he said. Ms Tymoshenko said she was confident that "such facts not be confirmed".

POPSJudge Considering Arguments To Block Troopergate probe Wouldn’t legislators who call for an investigation naturally believe something was amiss? Clarkson had hoped to call witnesses. The judge said no. Next to Clarkson sat Scott Hoyt – a Dallas lawyer with Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher here on behalf of the Liberty Legal Institute. One point of debate: Did the Senate Judiciary Committee have the proper authority to issue the subpoenas? Maassen said it doesn’t matter whether the Legislature acts through a council or a committee – it still has the same broad powers of investigation. Thomas Van Flein, the lawyer representing Palin her husband Todd, watched from the gallery, along with Sen. Fred Dyson, Rep. John Coghill. Rep. Bob Lynn and Rep. Les Gara.

POPSThe Debate "Moderator" Revealed I think the GOP should pull out of this debate unless the "moderator" is replaced.

"We've had people that have come to try and convert us. Most of the time they leave the group with a greater respect," he said.
