New York Times Takes Issue With House Petraeus Hearing

(Fox News) - When anti-war protesters dressed in pink costumes repeatedly disrupted the House hearing with General Petraeus on Monday, screaming that the general was a liar and resisting when police dragged them out, Armed Services Committee chairman Ike Skelton said they would not only be kicked out, but prosecuted.

That was too much for The New York Times, which declared in an editorial that while ordering them out of the room was, "understandable," but having them prosecuted, "seemed like an unnecessarily authoritarian response to people who just wanted to be heard."
