THINKPROGRESS & PETRAEUS

TP has a nice anecdote that provides a nice counterpoint to the BS Petraeus pushed in The Australian.

Dennis Shanahan, the Australian reporter who spoke with Petraeus, said there were attacks directed at the U.S. embassy during the interview. “So for [Petraeus] to be talking there about security in Iraq, there was a certain irony attached,” Shanahan said.
