(born November 7, 1952) is the current Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, sworn in on September 6, 2011. Petraeus disagreed with Rev. Terry Jones and his Dove World Church’s plan to burn Qurans on September 11, 2010, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. General Petraeus’ concerns seem to be over the probable additional risks to our troops stationed in the Muslim World the burning of the Qurans by the Gainesville, FL church would cause.

"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort. It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community."
