as for putin, i recall when clinton had his peccadilloes being bandied about, that much of the rest of the world was saying 'what's the big deal?'.

is it odd timing? sure. but then, i doubt there's ever a good time for the wife of 37 years to find out something like this. he was a powerful man, and powerful men do stupid things, just like the rest of us. but luckily for the rest of us, no one cares what we do.

Everything the head of the CIA does is a matter of national security. If he is willing to break the rules and put himself in compomising situations how do we know what he might have been willing to do to keep those secrets?

I'm sure if Mr Putin had information that he could use as leverage on Petraeus do you believe he would hesitate to use that?
