Gen. Petraeus and Gen. Allen intervened in child custody battle involving Jill Kelley's twin

Both Gen. David Petraeus and Gen. John Allen intervened in the same nasty child custody battle involving Natalie Khawam, the twin sister of Jill Kelley, whose bombshell claims of being threatened by Petraeus' lover led to the top spy’s resignation last week, the Post has learned.

Allen, the four-star general top commander in Afghanistan, was revealed last night to have exchanged thousands of pages of of emails with Kelley, who went to the feds after receiving threatening emails from Paula Broadwell, the married mistress of Petraeus.

Both Petraeus and Allen apparently decided intervene in the same nasty court fight over a four year old, siding with the mother who, according to court documents, took her son to Florida when he was four months old after a heated argument.

The father, Grayson Wolfe, was unable to see the child for more than a year, according to court documents. The judge overseeing the case cited Khawam with “outrageous conduct,” “bad faith litigation tactics,” and “illogical thinking,” awarding full custody to the father and socking the mom with $350,000 in legal fees.

What. The. Fuck.

Unless that child's father was physically molesting that baby, you do NOT abduct the child to another state to prevent visitation.

Allen was about to be named head of the whole shebang in Europe, Obama has put that on hold

I drew the line at envying mumps or measles, although I did get them. Tonsils out at 16 with lots of ice cream.

I'll bet that the twins had a 3 way with Allen and maybe Patraeus.

that's one dream every boy (and I consider these men immature little boys in that department by the sounds of it) to have sex with twins! It's a lifetime goal for some.

If you're right this story has a lot more juice and Kelley is going to tell all! Later she can deal with some of her debts via a book and talk show circuit

It's more than slightly weird considering the positions they hold. Sex is one thing but appearing in court is another.
