I read (was it only yesterday?) and maybe you did too, that Patreaus offered to testify, after saying he was postponing to “put his life together”.

That sort of indicates to (but what do I know) that he may be bucking 0bastard’s leash.

I know there’s a FR thread but don’t know where it is. I’d have to look for 2 hours probably, there’s so much stuff. Maybe you read it anyway.

Update: Fox reports that Petraeus initiated the agreement to talk with the committees, but at least one of these will be off-site and presumably behind closed doors:

First am for open hearings. Second, this time, closed door hearings for a brief and debrief, and for a period of time can be advantageous, if someone drops the hammer on those leaking. Leaks can be traced, if there is the desire. Those in the hearing will be a small select group. Tracking is easy enough.

As far as I can tell, at this point , anything Petraeus says to Congressional Committee will be behind closed door ( in camera hearing).The Senate Committee on Intelligence chaired by Diane Feinstein will be the committee he sees, but its really just for the leftists pols to see what Petraeus intends to say, like a discovery hearing.

He may or may not be in personal danger after the hearing.
Depends on how many beans he spills.
