Holy crap! I'm reading this post about the recent sentencing of Flight Lieutenant Malcolm Kendall-Smith for refusing to serve in Iraq because of the invasion's illegality where I just noticed this quote from the Independent :
New Labour are out of control... It sounds as though they're planning more wars and atrocities... How much more obvious could they make it?
The effect of this ruling on soldiers who take a similar stand in the future could be even graver. The Armed Forces Bill - now going through Parliament - will impose harsh penalties, including life imprisonment, on soldiers who refuse to take part in military occupations.
A little-known section introduces a new tougher definition of desertion so that soldiers who intend to avoid serving in a “military occupation of a foreign country or territory” can be imprisoned for life.
