«military and diplomatic officials seek bush's ouster»

diplomats and military commanders for change, an unprecedented bi-partisan coalition of twenty-seven career chiefs of mission and retired four-star military leaders will launch a nationwide campaign to press for the need for change in US foreign and defence policy because they are deeply concerned by the damage the bush administration has caused to our national and international interests. a statement will be released tomorrow followed by a discussion at the national press club here in washington, dc.

npr's alex chadwick talks with former assistant secretary of state princeton lyman about the letter he and 26 other former diplomats and military commanders have signed, calling for the defeat of george w bush in the november 2004 presidential election. in the letter, the group says bush has so harmed international relations that only a new leader can repair them.
