"This is classified" is often the refrain of military, FBI, etc. who don't know s..t about the whole process. This is just easy to say. They then set out to prove what they don't know. The military in particular, slap classified on anything and everything. Dumb.
I have no real sympathy for Petraeus and think the comments are great in summing up the overuse of "classified."
"The issue is not whether Gen Petraeus was dealt with too leniently...the issue is whether others are dealt with far to severely for conduct that is no different. This underscores the random, disparate and often unfair application of the national security laws where higher-ups are treated better than lower-downs. Abbé Lowell
