Why cant/wont Petraeus testify?
November 09, 2012

Duane, what puzzles me is why Petraeus resignation disqualifies him from testifying at all. Im not the only one puzzled, either. NROs Katrina Trinko cant figure it out:
Perhaps there is some protocol Im unaware of, but I dont see why resigning should affect whether Petraeus testifies or not. He was in charge of the CIA when the Benghazi attack occurred, and the CIA has been under plenty of fire for how the attack was handled.
Neither can John Hinderaker:
This gets curiouser: Petraeus was scheduled to testify before a Congressional committee on Benghazi next week, but in view of his resignation his testimony has been canceled. That makes no sense to me. Why should his resignation have anything to do with testifying about events that occurred while he was the director of the agency?
The only explanation I can conceive is that Petraeus doesnt really have any information to tell Congress that relates to his own personal actions relating to the Benghazi attack.
