Governor Romney sent an exclusive email this morning to The Corner at National Review Online.As many have noted this morning, MoveOn.org's latest outrageous act is an attempt to call into question the reputation and character of General Petraeus even before he testifies in front of Congress. As the Brookings Institution's Michael O'Hanlon writes today, "General Petraeus is a straight shooter." Like the men he commands, he is risking his life to protect our freedoms here at home. We should not prejudge him or his testimony, or give him anything less than the full respect he deserves.
Democrats must make a choice. Will they embrace these deplorable tactics or give General Petraeus a fair hearing? It should be the hope of all Americans that we give him a fair hearing. Certainly, he and our men and women in Iraq deserve it. In the coming days and weeks, there will be much debate about the future course in Iraq, but this debate should be free of the kind of shameful tactics MoveOn.org has shown today. It's time we heard from the generals, not Washington politicians and not
ultra-liberal advocacy groups. All Americans should keep an open mind.
Here's a story about MoveOn.org's activities.
Mitt demonstrates leadership and early action with this email. Romney is usually at the forefront of the news and responds to current issues with clarity and conviction that we don't always find among his rivals.

*** Update: Here's a story--"Stay the Course"--on Petraeus' report on IBN Editorials.
War In Iraq: Gen. David Petraeus' realistic report on Iraq demonstrates why the public trusts the military more than a Congress that wants, once again, to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
