The Hill: Petraeus Nomination Would Concern FBI

"It should and will rankle anyone who is objective and who works with classified info," The Hill quotes Ellen Glasser, a 24-year FBI veteran now teaching criminology at the University of North Florida.

"Notwithstanding his past decorated service, serving in the Cabinet is a privilege that should not be afforded to someone whose security clearance was yanked and who could not get another one the normal way."

According to the website, what particularly concerns some is that federal prosecutors maintained Petraeus intentionally misled investigators.

"One of the issues that many at the FBI would have would be less the classification violations than the alleged lying to the FBI during the investigation," Michael German, a former FBI agent who is now a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, is quoted by The Hill.
