Wow - this is what Congress finds the time and spine for?
Petraeus indeed has some outstanding qualifications, but I can't think of a single human being on this planet that has earned the right never to be questioned on anything. Some of his responses ("Is our presence in Iraq making America safer? ...I don't know") were forthright even if concerning, and those answers should be examined on their merits.
This move by Congress gives way too much weight to both the perceived danger of organizations like MoveOn.org and the sanctity of being in the military. And it avoids much more important topics that need to be resolved.
