So: Conduct espionage to get laid? You're a McCain hero. Leak documents to try to prevent torture? Espionage.

(I don't think Petraeus conducted espionage, FWIW, any more than Manning did. But his motives were all about self-glorification.)

@ggreenwald Did this info get into our enemies hands? -
Actually yes, tho FBI sort of covered that up. There's stuff that Petraeus orally gave her that's in the book.
@ggreenwald -
Meaning she published names of native helpers that then had to be evacuated to protect their lives?
-
You realize you're conflating two roles here? Petraeus = Manning, not Broadwell.
@ggreenwald -
I'm not. Petreus was grossly irresponsible, but he didn't end up aiding the enemy. Manning clearly did.
-
No. Actually you are. There are leakers (Petraeus, Manning) and journalistic outlets (WL, NYT, Broadwell).
@ggreenwald -
The actual CONTENT of what Petreaus leaked is far more dangerous, even ignoring his lying to the FBI about it.

That Petraeus didn't show any discretion to protect the most sensitive stuff, as Manning did?
@ggreenwald@SenJohnMcCain -
That Manning had higher goals and McCain just wanted to get laid?
@ggreenwald@SenJohnMcCain -
That Manning didn't lie to the FBI but Petraeus did? Which of those is most important, you think?
@ggreenwald@SenJohnMcCain -
P's leaks were far more classified than anything Manning or Snowden leaked.

@ggreenwald@SenJohnMcCain@POTUS Petraeus passed to someone who already had security clearance, just not high enough BIG DIFF -
He passed FAR more classified stuff. Code word intel, operatives IDs, POTUS priv stuff
@ggreenwald@SenJohnMcCain@POTUS -
And Petraeus did it to get laid. Is there a "getting laid" exception to clearance rules?
@ggreenwald@SenJohnMcCain@POTUS -
why did manning do it? Sexchange (you brought up sex). Regardless, just don't see them as=
