General Petraeus

The LA Times published an editorial critical of the light sentence proposed for General David Petraeus who was found guilty of releasing classified information to his mistress

A double standard on government secrets for David Petraeus http://lat.ms/1CK1Bzs

I agree with the LA Times editorial board. The crime of releasing classified data should not be one of "degree" --who knows what information could end up being critical?  Petreaus certainly knew better and knew the law. The fact that up to then he did a good job could apply yo many other defendants.
