WASHINGTON — Retired Marine Gen. James Cartwright has been charged with making false statements during a federal investigation into a leak of classified information, the Justice Department announced Monday.

Cartwright falsely told investigators that he was not the source of classified information contained in a book by New York Times journalist David Sanger, according to charging documents unsealed by prosecutors.

Neither the book nor the classified subject is identified in court papers. But Sanger has written about a covert cyberattack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and the use of a computer virus called Stuxnet to temporarily disable centrifuges that the Iranians were using to enrich uranium.

Funny how being lax with classified information seems to get a lot of people into trouble with the Feds.

A lot of people.

But not everyone.

    Poor Cartwright. He had the misfortune of encountering an unreasonable prosecutor.

    Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Maybe he’ll get a passing taste of humble pie out of the ordeal. He could use a few servings.

    I hope he burns long and bright. He is a Global Zero, gun control, anti-Constitutionalist from the get-go.
    And I hope he burns with the full knowledge that he was sold down the river by his political benefactors who protect their own, but would never deign to do so for someone in a uniform, no matter how much of a sniveling sycophant he was in trying to ingratiate himself to them.
