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."
