See what happens when Generals have it in for their biographers???
No one should be above the law. If there is evidence that General Petraeus broke the law, he should be prosecuted regardless of the extent of his connections. However, he should not be prosecuted only for having an affair or all-in sex with Paula Broadwell even if that is against military code of conduct.
It is āoverzealousā to prosecute the head of the CIA for giving access to top secret documents to his mistress? What in the world would be āzealousā in your opinion? Is there no bar too low? How about a Vice President intentionally āoutingā a CIA agent because her husband blew the whistle on lies the same VP concocted to start a war? How about STARTING a war on intentionally fabricated BS? How aboutā¦oh, never mind. The list is too long and far too depressing.
I guess some people might say that if people got away with the hideous crimes of the Bush administration, how could anyone ever be prosecuted for anything?
I guess we could ask some pot growers, or some whistle-blowers about that concept.
On the one hand itās not a politically good move for Holder to indict him, although since he is leaving that would lessen the fallout.
On the other hand, if you donāt indict him, people on the Right will claim Petraeus has damaging info on Obama in the Benghazi attack, and Petraeus is not talking in exchange for not being indictedā¦
Iād go with the Indictment. Itās the right thing to do, and lest we forget many on the Right felt Petraeus should have run for President in 2008.
She had security clearance. What was the harm? I think that the VP should have been prosecuted. Petraeus has some cred with me for what he did in Iraq and his work on counter-insurgency, but my main argument is that I donāt see this as hurting American security.
