Ben Griffin SAS

Just to say that why does Ben Griffin receive letters from MoD warning about civil proceedings possibly being taken aganst him when it seems OK for the military talking about SAS involvement in the rescue of the British peace worker. Is there not some sort of double standards operating.
What I also find interesting is that six retired US generals are now asking for the replacement of dear old Rummie. Why did none of these people take the honourable option and leave the army either through being released or resigning. Could it just be that they are more interested in their careers and pensions. At least Ben had the courage to speak openly with his superiors who totally sympathised with his stance.
In the meantime all that Tony Blair and the British government have to do is release, in full, the original advice from the Attorney General. If they did that then nobody could put forward an argument for refusing an order. Also everybody must conduct themselves totally legally when operating in any sphere of action in the middle East. There must be no handing over of prisoners to the Iraqi authorities for interrogation and no support, no matter how tacit, for the death squads now operating in occupied Iraq.
As for Iran, there must be action before they have nuclear material. They must be stopped. However, so must we because we are as much of a threat to world peace as anybody else.
