Petraeus was named a visiting professor at Macaulay Honors College at the City University of New York in July 2013. According to a statement from Petraeus, "I look forward to leading a seminar at Macaulay that examines the developments that could position the United States - and our North American partners - to lead the world out of the current global economic slowdown."[21] After his anticipated $200,000 salary for the academic year drew fire from critics, Petraeus agreed to take on the teaching position for just $1 in order to keep the focus on the students and away from any monetary controversy.[22]

look up "searching for steele" on you tube and you will see his connection to James Steele his crimes.He was implicated in the Iran/Contra affair with good ole Ollie North.He was kicked out of the military and now works as one of those guys,former military,in the pentagon.A contactor who does the US dirty business.I believe this doc was also on democracy now.Look him up,a true piece of human trash.
