An Australian pilot has refused to bomb Iraq because he did not consider the target as a legitimate one.
P.S. Can anybody find the original links?

Latest Saddam broadcast raise 'live' doubts...
quote: But he made no mention of the capture of American POWs on Sunday near Nasiriyah, which was broadcast by the state-run television.
CANNED SADDAM?
And when he cited several units and commanders, saluting them “for their heroic feats in the battlefield,” he named the commander of the 11th Iraqi Brigade in Basra, who surrendered along with many of his troops in the early hours of the war. That prompted officials at the allied Central Command in Qatar to conclude that the tape was likely recorded before the beginning of the hostilities.
March 24 — Saddam Hussein appears to be on the move and in control, says former American embassy defense attache in Iraq, Air Force Lt. Col. Rick Francona.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said nothing in Saddam’s Monday speech proved it had been made since the beginning of the war.
“I think there are some doubts about whether that tape is canned or was fresh based on recent events,” Fleischer said. “It would not be a surprise if Saddam Hussein had some time ago put in the can numerous statements designed to be released later.”
U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Saddam would have to make a specific reference to a recent event to prove he’s alive.
Officials say it is highly unlikely Saddam would use a double to give a speech; the Iraqis know such a ruse would probably be detected. Look-alikes, officials said, are more useful in motorcades and similar functions that don’t require public speaking.
British Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon came to a similar conclusion in a briefing on Monday.
• Some targets in the sights of bomber and missile crews.
“As far as the pictures this morning are concerned, obviously analysis continues. But what I can say straight away is that those pictures were not live,” he told a London news conference.
Hoon added that Saddam’s health made no difference to the military campaign.

Meanwhile, CBS News Correspondent Phil Ittner reports that Army doctors who treated some Iraqi prisoners of war, believed to be some high-ranking Iraqi officials, found Cipro pills among the Iraqis personal possessions.
Cipro is meant to ward off the effects of a biological attack from several toxic agents, foremost among them, anthrax. |

Analysis: How allies are winning on ground,
Iraqis on TV
After four days of fighting, the Iraqis have chalked up successes on the propaganda front, while the coalition has made achievements on the ground: A corps with a fleet of
helicopters is approaching Baghdad, and its hold on western Iraq is deepening. For the first time since the war's outset, the fleet has begun air attacks on one of the Republican Guard divisions.

American television stations CNN, NBC and CBS reported Monday that U.S. officials said the Iraqi leadership has drawn "a red line" around the map of Baghdad and that once American troops cross it, Iraqi Republican Guards have been authorized to use chemical weapons, Reuters reported.
While a senior Pentagon source said he could not confirm
the reports, NBC said its information was coming from intelligence officials who based it on intercepts of Iraqi communications.
