Are we beginning to see a mutiny?

Third Retired General Wants Rumsfeld Out - New York Times:

"WASHINGTON, April 9 : The three-star Marine Corps general who was the military's top operations officer before the invasion of Iraq expressed regret, in an essay published Sunday, that he did not more energetically question those who had ordered the nation to war. He also urged active-duty officers to speak out now if they had doubts about the war.

Lt. Gen. Gregory Newbold, who retired in late 2002, also called for replacing Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and 'many others unwilling to fundamentally change their approach.' He is the third retired senior officer in recent weeks to demand that Mr. Rumsfeld step down."
