Dear Salwa & all, I am very glad you brought this up. I had no idea my name was posted in their yahoo group or on their petition. I went to view the petition and it appears it was taken from a petition that someone here (Dirk Adriaensens) on CASI generated earlier this year. Notice the similarities: http://www.irak.be/ned/kalender/signatoriesIPA.htm Felicity's name is right before mine, as well as other the names in order. Basically, it was copied and pasted. I agree with you that is was wrong to copy these names and endorse them as actual petitioners for that cause. But even more so, they added you without you even participating on any online petitions. Don't allow a situation such as this to discourage you from adding your name to a worthwhile (and real) petition. While we are on the subject... if anyone sees a petition created by me on thepetitionsite.com that has information that is clearly outdated (stop the war - yet its a new petition), know that thepetitionsite has taken it upon themselves to create petitions in my name. They refuse to acknowledge my complaint against them. Salwa's discovery is now prompting me to check my name on Google frequently. Hopefully, doing so we can catch the sites that have used our names, e-mail, and address inappropriately.
