He talks a lot. Lets ask Sgt Wuterich and the Haditha guys he let get prosecuted for a shootout.

"Lets ask Sgt Wuterich and the Haditha guys he let get prosecuted for a shootout."

When a congressman calls them out on the floor of the house and say's they are committing war crimes, the military can't do much. The blame for the Haditha guys falls on Rep Murtha. He had no right to do what he did after they had already been investigated and cleared. He injected politics into it.

And as an Army Officer she had the clearance.

"Clearance" is NOT "need to know". If you are provided or seek out material that is appropriate for your classification level but for which you have no need, you are in violation of the clearance. This justifies prosecution for espionage.

[Vermont Lt]

I never said he could not, nor should not have been prosecuting.

I was merely explaining what he was charged with. Personally, I don’t care. Evidently handling classified material in a hap hazard way is not a big deal anymore. (Sarc.)

[Vermont Lt]

Not true.

She was a reservist.

Petraeus comes across as a slick politician.

Without the slick.
