\"Petraeus<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a> reports that Eric Holder is weighing whether or not the Justice Department will prefer charges against David Petraeus, the former commander of forces in Iraq, then Afghanistan. The charges seem to be in regards to his mistress and biographer, Paula Broadwell, an Army Reserve officer and classified documents found on her computer.<\/p>\n

Mr. Petraeus…has said he never provided classified information to Ms. Broadwell, and has indicated to the Justice Department that he has no interest in a plea deal that would spare him an embarrassing trial. A lawyer for Mr. Petraeus, Robert B. Barnett, said Friday he had no comment.<\/p>\n

Mr. Holder was expected to decide by the end of last year whether to bring charges against Mr. Petraeus, but he has not indicated how he plans to proceed. The delay has frustrated some Justice Department and F.B.I officials and investigators who have questioned whether Mr. Petraeus has received special treatment at a time Mr. Holder has led an unprecedented crackdown on government officials who reveal secrets to journalists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, he’s Mister Petraeus now. I’m sure this news is meant to distract us from something else. I can’t get outraged about this – while I was defending Petraeus on this blog, he was boinking some Twinkie. Here I thought that killing terrorists was his priority, not leaving protozoa laying around. If he knowingly gave the Twinkie classified documents, he’s even dumber than I thought. if she stole the documents and left them on her personal computer, she shouldn’t get near a MENSA application either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
