Wayne Madsen: Neo-Cons on the Brink: "Some quotes recently picked up from two and three-star generals and bird colonels: 'I took an oath to the Constitution, not Bush, Cheney, or Rumsfeld;' 'If the Pentagon were being overrun by the enemy and I had one bullet left, I'd use it on Stephen Cambone' (the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence); 'Too bad they missed Wolfowitz!' (a reference to the October 2003 Iraqi insurgent bombing of the Al Rashid hotel in Baghdad where Wolfowitz was staying). And this from a National Guard Colonel, 'The Governors are ready to revolt if any more of their Guardsmen are sent to Iraq.'

"If Bush, Cheney, and Rove interfere with the election process, either by postponing the November 2 election because of an unspecified 'terrorist' threat or other concocted reason, many in the senior levels of the military are prepared to honor their oath to the Constitution and protect our nation from enemies 'domestic.' That includes presidents and their staff who want to overturn the Constitution process for their own nefarious purposes.

"A long time colleague, a well-known constitutional lawyer, told me that he would support the military taking such unprecedented action against an out-of-control executive branch. A seasoned Washington political observer, well known to television audiences, echoed the lawyer's sentiment ? he even called for military trials of Bush, Cheney, and their henchmen after their ouster. Yes, the outrage factor is at an all time fever pitch. In my lifetime, I've seen nothing like it. Yet, it is wholly understandable."
