“General Petraeus sent a statement out to all news organizations yesterday, urging our government to ban Koran burning”
I haven’t seen this statement.
Can someone locate it?
I haven’t seen this statement.

I can't. I think it safe to say Lindsay is lying.
I only found this:
International Security Assistance Force

ISAF Headquarters Public Affairs
KABUL, Afghanistan (April 3, 2011) – In view of the events of recent days, we feel it is important on behalf of ISAF and NATO members in Afghanistan to reiterate our condemnation of any disrespect to the Holy Qur'an and the Muslim faith. We condemn, in particular, the action of an individual in the United States who recently burned the Holy Qur'an.
We also offer condolences to the families of all those injured and killed in violence which occurred in the wake of the burning of the Holy Qur'an.
We further hope the Afghan people understand that the actions of a small number of individuals, who have been extremely disrespectful to the Holy Qur'an, are not representative of any of the countries of the international community who are in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people."
