“Students at the City University of New York have said they will continue protesting against David Petraeus and pledged to ‘make his time in New York a living hell’ after a video emerged showing the former general being hounded as he left the university on Monday. Petraeus, who served as commanding general in Iraq, overseeing all coalition forces in the country, is teaching a course titled ‘Are We On the Threshold of the North American Decade?’ Hunter College professor Sandor John, who helped organise the protest, told CNN that ‘a lot of our students are from countries that have been targeted by the United States’. He added: ‘We don’t want someone like him on campus.'”
