Modi, Terrorism Key Poll Points for Bjp

<h1>Modi, Terrorism Key Poll Points for Bjp</h1>Author: <a title="Prabhash Dutta" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/prabhash-dutta/77417.htm">Prabhash Dutta</a> New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party seems to have finalised its poll agenda and the leaders that it is planning to project as its face.

By: byron ruffin | 17/12/2009

Unruly Cops in the U.S

By: Kasan Groupe | 14/12/2009
We’ve all seen it before and it makes me just cringe. Though police officers are paid to protect the public and enforce the laws, they break the laws just like regular human beings do. I mean how many times in your life have you seen a cop car quickly flip his cherries and berries to get through a red light before the rest of us? Or how about when they take part in sleezy drug trades that are covered up as acts of vigilance? This is just uncalled for and to put in street terms, it is straight up BOGUS.
