[ExI] What is the latest word on Keith Henson?

[Sergio M.L. Tarrero]

I bet we could even inspire a number of humanist and secularist  
organizations who dislike scientology as much as many of us do to  
sign it as well.

There´s a long list, with contact info, in the appendix of Dawkin´s  
The God Delusion (such as... American Atheists, Freedom From Religion  
Foundation, International Humanist and Ethical Union, Secular  
Coalition for America, The Skeptics Society, etc.)  I could spend a  
little time forwarding the plea to potential signatories (if this is  
generally accepted as a good initiative, and someone writes the  
statement), and following up on responses.

I´m thinking of organizations signing it because I think it is more  
impressive and probably effective than even a few thousand people  
signing it (which would be very hard to do anyway).  If we can get 10  
or more organizations to sign it, maybe we can get some serious  
publicity.
