This morning, Governor Romney wrote into NRO's The Corner with his comments on MoveOn.org's outrageous attack on General Petraeus in The New York Times. And, as Ms. Lopez notes , blog readers are welcome to comment or ask questions of the Governor by emailing

A Fair Hearing for General Petraeus [ Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Governor Mitt Romney e-mails, exclusive to "The Corner":
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.
