I know that his is a little dated now but I was interested in the article on Lt General Sir Michael Rose's call for Blair to be impeached:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4594216.stm
Although I note that his comments were batted off with an indifferent comment: "A Downing Street spokesman said Sir Michael was entitled to his view but had been retired for some time". It is refreshing, however, to see such a senior officer make a call that he obviously feels strongly about; albeit a retired one.
I also listened to his interview with interest where he called for the military hierarchy to follow their conscience and resign, rather than blindly follow the politician’s whim; wonder if we'll ever see that?
