Betrayus, a former four-star general and director of the CIA pled guilty today

[The Irish Ram]

The one-time CIA director didn't just disclose secrets to his mistress. He shared with her some of the most sensitive information the Pentagon has.
David Petraeus, a retired four-star general and former director of the CIA, pleaded guilty Tuesday to giving highly classified information to his ex-mistress.

and?

While I think Petreaus was foolish, this is not a good outcome. This man served this country loyally. He's not an Aldrich Ames or a Robert Hanson selling secrets to the enemy for money. He wasn't even a Bradley Manning or William Snowden exposing secrets to make a political statement.

He was a guy who just had a big ego and wanted to impress a chick with how important he was.

Wanting to get laid has often been the motive for spying. That he didn't get paid should not be reason to give him a pass.

Does that mean that Obama spying on our German ally, Angela Merkel, was his penis' idea? So typical of democrats!

He shouldn't have buckled under....the"mistress" had a security clearance of her own....Hussein and Holder held an indictment over his head to shut him up....fucking dirtbag queers.

Hussein and Holder....rhymes with Hitler and Himmler.

How about giving him a pass because he's a national hero who has served our country in mutliple wars?

Oh, yeah, and nothing he gave away was really THAT important.
