Dear Thomas E. Gimble,

I request you investigate Gen. David Petraeus for violating regulations prohibiting partisan political activity while in uniform or acting in an official capacity.

NBC's Andrea Mitchell described Petraeus meeting with the Republican Congressional caucus. From Mitchell's description it appears Petraeus may have been participating in a meeting that was primarily strategizing for how Congressional Republicans will further their political interests.

Many Americans are suspicious of the motivations of President George W. Bush with respect to Iraq. Many of us suspect Iraq policy is really driven by domestic politics—and has been from the beginning—not reasoned, realistic strategic objectives.

Given this climate, Petraeus probably should have refused to meeting separately with Congressional Republicans.

Sincerely,

Carl Nyberg
