Snowden v Petraeus

       Ya know? As things begin to unravel, I'm beginning to think Edward Snowden is getting a raw deal. Since he pointed out that General David Petraeus "disclosed more sensitive information than I did," I've been thinking about it.
       Snowden found out about all this Peeping Tom kind of listening in that we've been doing, he thought it was wrong and so he leaked the information to the media. Petraeus, on the other hand, was entrusted with far more highly classified information, gave it to his biographer in order to impress her into having sex with him. So Petraeus is successful in his sexual endeavors and only gets a semi-hard slap on the wrist, but Snowden, who did it because he thought it was the right thing to do,well, let's say his uncle Sam wants to hang him out to dry, permanently.
       But that's not the end of the story. Now the good General is being considered for the position of Secretary of State. Presumably to be updated on more highly classified information to pass on to an even cuter biographer, while the Ex National Security contractor is looking at some far more serious retribution from his Government and he's not even line for a job as a Washington D.C. dog catcher. Where's the fairness there?
       If Petraeus wanted to give his mistress something really interesting, maybe he should have given her the news about the $125 billion bureaucratic waste the Pentagon was hiding. Now that's something she could certainly make use of. What girl wouldn't love to have a $125 billion nest egg  to snuggle in. I'm just saying. As for Snowden, its too bad he didn't have a girlfriend.
