Just to try and get the debate back on track....

As the Dr in question was being sent to Iraq for the 3rd time, and he did not claim it was an illegal order on the 2 previous occasions, what justification does he now have for refusing said order? Furthermore as the situation has now changed vice invasion of a sovereign country (then) and a police action approved by the duly elected sovereign government (now [and with or without BLiar's majority/minority]) then how can he say he is now being given an illegal order.

And although 15 minutes of fame has been around since the 60's it has exploded under this government but I would not say that it is the fault of New Liarbour just that they were the government in power at the time of the explosion in reality(?) TV shows, just as Maggie was in power when a large number of bloated and under productive industries went to the wall.
