Sir, Ms. Mitchell misspoke about the caucus, we have contacted her and she agreed and will be making a correction to her statement.The video teleconference Gen Petraeus participated in was for a bi-partisan group of congressmen arranged by the Defense Department Legislative Affairs office. http://www.defenselink.mil/la/
The office cited (OCLL) is the Army equivalent of the DOD office.

ThinkProgress found Mitchell's correction:
Andrea Mitchell (sort of) issues a correction. Salon.com’s Joan Walsh highlights a strange moment on tonight’s Hardball: “Without mentioning what had been discussed on Sunday, Matthews asked Mitchell, rather out of the blue, to talk about what Petraeus was telling senators. ‘It’s a good thing you bring that up,’ Mitchell replied, and she went on to say that Petraeus recently held a ‘closed circuit briefing’ for senators of both parties, ‘Democrats as well as Republicans.’
