I would guess that Petreus will still have to be closely monitored since many enemies would like to get access to the infomation he has. Couldn't you just see people offering him favors for information.
However, I do think it is great that he has stood up to take responsiblity even if he was about to be exposed for it anyway.

Absolutely agree. The "immoral" aspect is of no consequence to you or me. BUT the underlying consequences of infiltration is of huge consequence. If you sign on for a position where the entire country is the ultimate recipient of your character choices, (and let's face it, are there anymore serious consequences?), you are supposed to be worthy of that position and willing to accept the parameters.
As for the timing of release, it is obvious.
