ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Poster is claiming Petraeus scandal is not a regular scandal but an attempted coup which was thwarted. Not only the title of the message but the last two paragraphs explicitly describe this as a failed coup against the President. That is simply preposterous. This is literally "crazy talk".
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Nov 13, 2012, 02:30 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Many of us who lived through the 60s and 70s know that the government is capable of great deception and great stupidity. Leave the post.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I think this is one that should have been alerted to hosts instead of to a jury. It's a SoP issue, not a ToS issue.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: I wasn't really sure where we should draw the line on these speculative theories, but this here looks like a pretty good place to do just that.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
