It should come as no surprise that the New York Times editorial page would toe the left-liberal party line that Gen. David Petraeus is a liar.

However, if you're supportive of the troops and their mission in Iraq, then the editorial board invites you to barge in on their editorial meetings and be heard.

When protesters interrupted the hearing, Mr. Skelton ordered them removed from the room, which is understandable. But then he said that they would be prosecuted. That seemed like an unnecessarily authoritarian response to people who just wanted to be heard.

And the Times promises not to prosecute you for trespassing.
