Via Boing Boing: "David Petraeus, a top West Point grad who led U.S. military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan before becoming the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, pled guilty Thursday to sharing classified information with his biographer/lover.
Fellow leaker Chelsea Manning, on the other hand, remains in prison. And earlier this week, federal prosecutors called for accused leaker and former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling to serve up to 24 years in prison."
This guy walks, others remain in prison and Snowden continues being labeled public enemy #1 for exposing the government's spying on all the citizens it is supposed to represent? This is why I would rather watch cage fighting and read comic books :)

ReplyDeleteKinda ironic that his surname rhymes with "betray us", though.
Mr. Kissinger, is that you? (Hi Dan!)
