Dear Colleagues,
I guess there might be a separate thread for those who have worked very
hard for years and have gotten mostly very harsh punishment, but nothing
resembling the Bill of Rights or even a chance to respond to allegations about
their integrity, loyalty or sanity. If we don't have such a discussion soon,
my guess is that you will lose all your US contributers. Is that what you
want?
I request a collegial response from the list moderators.
I find it odd that there seems to be no such flame war about people who
post at least as "off list" items as the attacks on S.H. as though we in the
peace movement, not the warlords of the U.S. U.K, and their fluckies had
financed and armed him. Could at least have a single standard about whom and
what to flame off this list?
The stiff upper lip business does not work real well here and perhaps even
among British people, vide Dr. Kelly's suicide (if that's what it was).
Not trying to keep a flame war going, just trying to stay in the fight
against an attack on the Iraqi kids that may prove more disasterous than even
the sanctions.

p.s. I personally am offended by the tactic of attacking position or person A
on the CASI listserv , then asking people NOT to respond to the listserv.
That, I feel is at the least unproductive and at most a shabby device.

>I have to agree with Gabriel. While we are all suffering from bleeding hearts
and wounded souls these days, I found the prayer email not at all
inspirational and frankly, quite irritating. Like Gabriel said, these emails
can be directed at eachother personally, and do not need to be sent to the
whole list. The relevance of this list is Iraq-related topics, not our own
feelings of despair. And now that the postings are not strictly
sanctions-related but far more broad, at least for the time being, until the
moderators decide which course to follow, there is much room for postings of
all kinds. But they must at least contain an element of information. For those
of us who need inspiration, myself included, there are other, more suitable
venues such as prayer houses, friends, family and Mother Nature to turn to.
