MoveOn Did What?, Part 2

Talking Points Memo: "Images of Gen. David Petraeus appeared in an ad the Giuliani campaign began running yesterday attacking Hillary Clinton. The Pentagon says the use of the Petraeus images was done without Petraeus' consent. Military personnel are barred by Pentagon regulations from appearing in political ads in uniform. Greg has more at Election Central."

If you're in a GOP ad, by permission or not, then don't complain when someone attacks you for being partisan. (The "permission" argument would be a lot more convincing if Petraeus were throwing a public, screaming fit. It all smells rather like one of Ann Coulter's "kill a judge" statements followed by "just kidding.)
