Kelley, "alarmed by about half a dozen anonymous e-mails accusing her of inappropriate flirtatious behavior with Mr. Petraeus, complained to an F.B.I. agent who is also a personal friend."

"In a search, the agents discovered several classified documents, which raised the additional question of whether Mr. Petraeus had given them to her. She said that he had not. Agents interviewed Mr. Petraeus the following week. He also admitted to the affair but said he had not given any classified documents to her."

Very interesting - from article:

Under military regulations, adultery can be a crime. At the C.I.A., it can be a security issue, since it can make an intelligence officer vulnerable to blackmail, but it is not a crime.


A close friend of the Petraeus family said Sunday that the intimate relationship between Mr. Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell, began after he retired from the military last year and about two months after he started as C.I.A. director. It ended about four months ago, said the friend...

The involvement of the F.B.I., according to government officials, began when Ms. Kelley, alarmed by about half a dozen anonymous e-mails accusing her of inappropriate flirtatious behavior with Mr. Petraeus, complained to an F.B.I. agent who is also a personal friend. That agent, who has not been identified, helped get a preliminary inquiry started. Agents working with federal prosecutors in a local United States attorney’s office began trying to figure out whether the e-mails constituted criminal cyber-stalking.

given they just attended an event together last week but that does not really matter.

The renegade FBI agent who went outside the agency to carry tales is the problem. I assume he has been relieved of duty. He should be as he is the really bad actor here.

Three House members and their staffers also need to be investigated because unfortunately are in positions of trust with regard to national security but clearly can not be trusted to do anything other than work a partisan political angle.

The irony is that the mess caused the resignation of Director Petraeus - the golden boy for the right.

None of this reflects poorly on the President.

Someone needs to put a muzzle on Paula and her security clearance needs to be revoked because she is imo a sociopath.

and this situation. Maybe I'm seeing smoke where there's no fire but after seeing that photo of Broadwell with Rove it makes me go "Hmmmm."

(see speech she made in Denver on Oct. 26th)

She had access to enough classified info to seem credible and inside knowledge of the problems confronting the CIA and their apparent passing of incorrect info to the WH and State Department so she became Miss Misinformation.

She was playing the partisan angle with the purpose of reaching her professional goal of becoming the National Security Adviser in the next Republican WH. In her plans that President would be her special General.

She should be court-martialed.
