1. WARNING
My name is #69 on this thing. I did not sign it. Someone else put my name there. This may be true of many signatures on here. This petition is fucked up, sad to say.

3. Looking at the comment beside your name, Will, it's pretty obvious
that is was someone with a shitty sense of humor and a freep attempt at god knows what.

It think it was an individual and niot the petition framers.

4. Oh, I'm not blaming the petition-writers
Not at all. But it's pretty clear that someone has gone in and pissed all over it.

5. There are about 8 nasty or deceptive names of the petition, I'm going to
try and get removed. It amazes me how people will go out of their way to do something malevolent, but the vast majority or signatures are fine, and the comments are benevolent.

9. Why would anyone do that?
It's an honest and comendable attempt to help save a young woman's life. I don't understand why anyone would treat it so callously.

10. I have no idea, but all questionable names will be removed, and the
effort will not be hindered by a few bad seeds.

6. I signed
too bad there are junk signatures there. I cited Sura 8: 67, which reads:

It is not fitting
For a Prophet
That he should have
Prisoners of war until
He hath throroughly subdued
The land.....

The notes on this Sura include the following:

All baser motives ... are strictly excluded. The greed of gain in the shape of ransom from captives has no place....

From The Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an Abdullah Yusuf Ali

7. What's the backstory? Anyone have any figures on Iraqi women held by US?
If so, where is the military holding them?

Under what conditions?

Have any women been released? What are released women prisoners saying the conditions of their capture were?

Very sad. Two wrongs make two wrongs.
