4. Yup and the DOJ should be ashamed for it because how can they hold Manning or Snowden

truly accountable if they wont hold Petraeus truly accountable?

8. "Yes Virginia, it is oligarch controlled tyranny."

9. Or perhaps Manning and Snowden shouldn't be held accountable.

It's obvious, from Petraeus' treatment that there is no real problem with sharing secret information.

14. The blatant double standard...

... exemplified by this absurdly light sentence, when others are hammered for far less egregious transgressions, undermines what little credibility our grotesquely corrupt judicial system may once have had.

I am reminded of a case in Colorado some years ago where a drunken hedge fund manager was let off with a misdemeanor fine after he ran over, and killed, a doctor. The DA opined that the poor hedge fund manager's ability to make obscene amounts of money would have been adversely affected if he'd had to do time.

Our country is run by psychopaths.

6. Old news?

How many Rich People have ever known that went to jail for a crime whose victims were pooer than them. ?

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

12. Same old, same old, yes,

but that doesn't mean we should stop calling it out as wrong.
