#1 Let's not forget Sandy Berger stealing classified documents from the National Archives in 2003, by stuffing the down his pants - and then lying about it to Justice Department investigators.

His punishment, according to Wikipedia: "Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material on April 1, 2005. Berger was fined $50,000, sentenced to serve two years of probation and 100 hours of community service, and stripped of his security clearance for 3 years."

I seriously doubt he would shame himself in such a manner.

#3 Read up on the visceral attacks on Washington, Jackson, Grant, et al by contemporaries. It's what they accomplished that made their credentials.

#4 Everything in this administration must be viewed through the prism of political value. Petraeus is being chilled just as the new House and Senate are looking into Benghazi for example, and Brennan and Rice and ValJar are using the threat of prosecution to still any insight into what happened, and the complicity of Hillary/DoS, the WH and the clueless Champ.
