CIA Chief Petraeus resigns as result of extra-marital affair

You know once more I can only wonder at the very very bright and highly educated individuals who can not do a little research on the net to learn ...

Paula Broadwell, the woman reported to be having an affair with CIA Director David Petraeus, sent harassing emails to State Department official, the AP reported.

Jill Kelley, the woman who received emails from Broadwell that prompted her to alert FBI, reportedly works as a State Department military liaison.

According to the Washington Post, the woman was "frightened" for her safety and contacted the FBI for protection. The Post describes the emails as "threatening."

WASHINGTON — A senior U.S. military official says the author who had an affair with David Petraeus sent harassing emails to a woman who was the State Department's liaison to the military's Joint Special Operations Command.

The official says 37-year-old Jill Kelley in Tampa, Fla., received the emails from Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell that triggered an FBI investigation.

The official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

”David Petraeus will be remembered as the finest officer of his generation, and as the commander who turned the Iraq War around,”

I still can't figure out why this was brought to Eric Cantor.

Or, that in 2004, during the middle of a presidential election, Petraeus wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post, supporting President Bush and saying that the Iraq policy was working. The policy wasn’t working, but Bush repaid the general’s political advocacy by giving him the top job in the war three years later.

How David Petraeus will be remembered has yet to be determined.

The reputations of the men who were intimately involved in these years of foreign misadventure—where we tortured and supported torture, armed death squads, conducted nightly assassinations, killed innocents and enabled corruption on an unbelievable scale—lie in tatters. McChrystal, Caldwell, and now Petraeus—the era of the celebrity general is over. Everyone is paying for their sins. (And before we should shed too many tears for the plight of King David and his men, remember they’ll be taken care of with speaking fees and corporate board memberships, rewarded as instant millionaires by the same defense establishment they served so well.)

Unfortunately, it will probably be lost in next week's news cycle.

So here is a bizarre twist in the David Petraeus resignation saga.

Paula Broadwell, the biographer revealed as the woman having a secret affair with the now-former CIA director, gave a talk at the University of Denver on Oct. 26 in which she appeared to reveal sensitive, maybe even classified, information about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

The most interesting revelation is her claim that the CIA was holding two Libyan militia members prisoner, which may have prompted the attack. This **** just keeps getting deeper

This is reminding me of the lady astronaut with the BB gun and mace who attacked her rival in an airport parking lot after driving a thousand miles to do so.
