If Petraeus testifies tomorrow he knew from the beginning the attack in Lybia was a terrorist attack, does any of the crap that flies hit our President or will the press deflect it so it misses him.

There are at least two things we have learned from the Petraeus scandal:
1. The FBI can read private email without any kind of search warrant even with the Electronic Communication Privacy Act.
2. Our generals are taking too many orders from their privates."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

Senate Committee Approves Bill Requiring Warrants for E-Mail
A Senate committee on Thursday unanimously backed sweeping digital privacy protections requiring the government, for the first time, to get a probable-cause warrant to obtain e-mail and other content stored in the cloud.
The measure, sponsored by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, amends the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act. The amendment would nullify a provision that allows the government to acquire a suspect’s e-mail or other stored content from an internet service provider without showing probable cause that a crime was committed.
The development comes as e-mail privacy is again in the spotlight after FBI investigators uncovered an affair between then-CIA chief David Petraeus and his biographer Paula Broadwell after gaining access to e-mail accounts used by Broadwell.
Currently, the government can obtain e-mail without a warrant as long as the content has been stored on a third-party server for 180 days or more, and only needs to show, often via an administrative subpoena, that it has “reasonable grounds to believe” the information would be useful in an investigation.
