Petraeus hides

Does anyone else find it questionable that Petraeus' recommendations would be "leaked" to the NYTimes, "foreshadowed" in a letter to troops, and "hinted at" in an interview, all to be printed and released today, on a Friday, the day Petraeus takes "family time" and is unavailable for any statements or interviews?

Then, of course, there's the fact that there may not even be a written element of Petraeus' recommendations to the President.

Have you ever heard of a political or military briefing (of any kind) that didn't come with a written support document?

That alone should raise suspicions.
