Excerpt from a filmed public speech, that you can watch below, given by former British SAS trooper Ben Griffin who left the SAS in disgust after serving in Iraq:
NOTE: Shortly after making the filmed speech that appears below, the High Court of England and Wales placed Ben Griffin under an injunction ordering him against speaking publicly and publishing material gained as a result of his service in the SAS.
'When you put this in the context that we've illegally invaded a sovereign country in order to gain control of its vast oil resources I think the British people will finally say they've had enough of this government, had enough of its murderous and illegal policies and hopefully will hold these people to account and vote them out as well. Finally I’d like to make two personal pleas tonight. One is to all soldiers currently serving and retired, and I include airmen and navy personnel in this, and I address you now, the time has come for you to come clean. If you have any information about the processes and the incidents that I’m talking about or other incidences that you have been witness to or you have evidence of, and I'm talking to senior officers down through the chain of command to private soldiers, now is the time to come clean.'
