Sen. Mel Martinez on Monday called an advertising campaign against U.S. Army General David Petraeus by the advocacy group moveon.org "shameful and disappointing." Martinez joined an effort led by Senators Lindsey Graham ,R-SC, John McCain, R-AZ,, Joe Lieberman ,I-CT, and a number of other colleagues in calling for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, to denounce Moveon.org’s tactics.
“General Petraeus has decades of honorable service and his dedication to this nation is unparalleled,” Martinez said. “The General, alongside our troops, is literally laying his life on the line for our country and to try to slander his reputation for political gain is shameful, disappointing, and marks a new low in this debate.”
