Coalition of the Willing

Expanding on the entry below, I ran across these links at Testify, who promises more this weekend.
Attack not yet legal
and
Coalition of the "Willing"? -- Make That "War Criminals"
I was also reminded of this letter from veterans for peace:
Vets To Top US Military Commanders: Remember Nuremberg; an open letter to fifteen generals and admirals in the top ranks of the US Military advising them of their possible liabilities, under international law, to criminal prosecution for being part of a pre-emptive war against Iraq.

"We members of VFP remember well our military service. We swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. We were informed of the Nuremberg Tribunal and the conviction and punishment of soldiers for following illegal orders. We were taught that we must not follow an illegal order. US military leadership must not only know and teach the obligations of international law but must respect and follow them."
