POPSCensoring Iraq Michael Yon went to Iraq initially at the behest of military friends who insisted that what Americans were seeing on the news wasn't an accurate reflection of the reality on the ground. Two of my friends died on consecutive days. When the charred remains of American contractors were strung from a bridge in Falluja, I put aside a book I was writing to attend the funerals. In Colorado we laid to rest a Special Forces friend who'd been killed in Samara; then on to Florida for the funeral of the friend who'd been murdered and mutilated in Falluja. A photo of the dang ling corpses won a Pulitzer. I purchased and borrowed the equipment required for the journey. Camera, satellite phone, laptop, body armor, helmet, and so on. Like most of the people who would later be called "alternative media," I bore these expenses myself, including the flights to Kuwait.

POPSRantings of a Racist When pushing an agenda facts are not important, the only thing that matters is putting forth arguments to support ones own agenda. That can be said on both sides of any issue. In the case of the Wright Reverend Jeremiah it is easy to see from the bulletin from the church which issue is of utmost importance to him. Be sure to read the Pastor's page portion and you will see President Bush is to blame for all the ills of mankind, not sin. A preacher of righteousness would acknowledge that all men are sinners not just a particular race or color. In fact the wat in Iraq is blamed for homelessness in New Orleans. The last time I checked the major of New Orleans was a, let me see, black man. It would appear from reading just this one bulletin that the Wright Reverend Jeremiah is not so right when it comes to putting forth truth. Unless of course facts do not matter.

POPSAh, a real story Prolly won't find this anywhere mainstream, huh? Good to see. Because, it shows an improvement under any conditions. Brotherhood, maybe. Hopefully.

POPSThanks and Praise Well, this is different. A momentary exhibition of freedom of religion in, of all places, Iraq.

POPSMichael Yon: Don’t Ask Me What I Think about the Petraeus Report Michael Yon discusses in his usual measured reasonable style General Petreaus' report, which isn't published yet. You'd think it was, considering how wildly the moonbats have already reacted to his testifying before Congress. Yon says it should be carefully considered and digested, not pounced upon in a rush to get a story out. Great article at NRO.

POPSSausages and laws It isn't as if we haven't noticed the American DOJ relying on reports like these against our own forces like the Haditha Marines. But as the Confederate Yankee points out, Michael Yon reported on the Baquba massacre in detail. The MSM finally gets around to it, since they're reluctant to report anything bad about their heroes.

POPSFormer Green Beret spent months embedded with U.S. troops This is worth the read. I just started to look at his blog. I like the fact he does not follow any party line (at least he says he doesn't). We need more people to report the truth - everywhere in the world and this country. Those without an agenda are the greatest assest to the people, but the greatest fear to the politicians and others in power. I give this guy a world of credit for trying to publish the truth. Granted it might be from one point of view - but from that one point he is trying to push out the truth as he sees it unfold. Better report then the media that has been bought and paid to print the politically correct views.
