Hi all, On Dan's point about writing as CASI, I should perhaps clarify: we do of course consider members of this list to be part of CASI, and you're very welcome to sign off letters etc as 'Member, Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq', as you would with Voices or CND or Amnesty etc. What we want to avoid is the impression that these are official statements by CASI, which clearly we need to discuss and approve as a committee! Also, Glen's dossier revelation was handled without using CASI's name because he did it in his capacity as an Iraq analyst, specifically as an expert on weapons inspections, and thus it had nothing to do with CASI. Other than its being posted on this list, of course! Hope that makes sense.
