There were a number of active duty officers openly critical of President Bush and Rumsfeld.
"On April 18, 2006 Tony Blankley, editorial-page editor of Rev. Sun Myung Moon's staunchly pro-Bush Washington Times, raised the prospect of sedition charges against active-duty military officers who - in collusion with the retired generals - might be considering resignations in protest of Bush's war policies. "Can a series of lawful resignations turn into a mutiny?" Blankley wrote. "And if they are agreed upon in advance, have the agreeing generals formed a felonious conspiracy to make a mutiny?" Blankley wrote that this possible "revolt" by the generals "comes dangerously close to violating three articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice," including "mutiny and sedition." Blankley thus raised the specter of courts martial against officers who resign rather than carry out orders from Bush." http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2006/apr/17/20060417-094715-2092r/ On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 10:32 AM, Eric Roberts <[email protected]> wrote: > > Actually the generals that publically complained were already retired.
