"I feel that we have been lied to and betrayed by this administration," Watada said Tuesday in a telephone interview from Fort Lewis. "It is the duty, the obligation of every soldier, and specifically the officers, to evaluate the legality, the truth behind every order — including the order to go to war."

Ehren Watada is speaking out not just about the Iraq war, but about the use of power by the administration. His point is that he has a duty to refuse to go because the war is illegal and he has a duty to uphopd the law. As per the Nuremburg principles(check out IV), a soldier must disobey illegal orders.

I think he has a great case, although, I will have to admit that my sympathy for him has been hindered by the fact that he joined the Military in 2003, knowing full well that he would probably be in the position of killing Muslims who had nothing at all to do with 9/11.
