Petraeus Sentenced to Probation for Leaking Secret Information 
---------------------------------------------------------------


 
Former CIA director and retired U.S. Army General David Petraeus has
been sentenced to two years' probation and a $100,000 fine after
pleading guilty to leaking highly classified information to his
biographer and lover Paula Broadwell. Petraeus will avoid jail time,
unlike fellow leakers like Chelsea Manning and John Kiriakou. The fine
is reportedly less than he gets for a single speaking appearance.
