Retired US Generals Warn Against Strike on Iran
In some ways this isn't at all a surprise. What they're saying is what all credible military experts have been saying since it became clear the Bush Administration was eyeing a strike on Iran.
They said such action would have "disastrous consequences" for security in the Middle East and also for coalition forces in Iraq.
They said the crisis over Tehran's nuclear programme must be resolved through diplomacy, urging Washington to start direct talks with Iran.
Why this is interesting is that the letter was published in a British newspaper and it's the BBC that is carrying the story. I looked over at CBC, CNN, and Sun Media and found no mention of the warning. Hard to make an informed decision when you don't get all the information.
Update: CNN has posted the story.
