He's the head of the CIA. Dammit. Some people are PAID not to "screw some girl".

yeah, it was common knowledge back in the day that thom jefferson was playing pattycake with 'dashing' sally hemings, and that he had kids with her. i bet it would be a lot quicker to name the po-lie-ticians and others in d.c. that AREN'T cheating.
david vitter anyone? wasn't just cheating, he was paying for it. still in the senate.

You dont find it troubling that the head of the CIA was so easily trapped into a relationship with a woman who was obviously looking for something more than a one night stand? That he allowed her far more access than many were comfortable with and we dont have any idea what he discussed with her? She is intellegent and accomplished enough to be scary IMO for a guy like Petraeus to be involved with. This might not be James Bond movie but for someone as smart as her to be able to get close to the head of CIA so easily is troubling. Broadwell has a diplomats pedigree and diplomats make good spies. Just imagine if she had worse intentions than just an affair?

i try not to get worked up about hypotheticals.

is he a fool? yes. but unless/until something actually worrisome comes out, it's a non-story to me. sorry.
and 'easily trapped'? i doubt he thought he was being trapped. and unless she had something nefarious in mind, then i have to think it was just an affair.
and she doesn't sound particularly smart, knowing about the ridiculous emails she sent. if she had a cunning plan, she botched it pretty badly.
i seriously doubt either one of them thought all their actions thru. if they had, the affair wouldn't have happened.

and, after months of inquiry, there was no ticking time bomb. just not seeing a grand conspiracy to worry about.

I guess you and I differ on the importance of the CIA. You treat this as though it is the head of the Consumer affairs department.

And if there was a ticking time bomb you dont really think that we would find out about this do you?

of course the cia is important. however, you're trying to include this as tho it has some sort of huge relevance, or an affect on national security. in fact, it has neither.

from the ap:

The FBI looked into whether a separate set of emails between Petraeus and Broadwell might involve any security breach and concluded it did not.

The FBI searched Broadwell's home in Charlotte, N.C., Monday night, with her consent, according to a federal law enforcement official, who requested anonymity because the official was not authorized to speak on the record about the investigation.

The official said the FBI just wanted to make sure there were no classified documents out of government custody.





--------the only group it seems that is yelping to high heaven are some in congress, who want to know why they didn't know. great. the fbi finds nothing untoward except some extramarital sex, so all the problems we are facing will get shunted aside yet again...cause hey, a sex scandal.

and yes, if there was more, we'd find out. just like we did in watergate, etc, etc. nobody keeps secrets for long up there.

No one seems to care. We are screwed. If We the People don't wise up soon... oh forget it.

Why in the world are we paying FBI agents to go through 30,000 pages of frikkin E-Mails? Especially if they aren't going to do anything about it. We have way too many FBI Agents is my guess. Wasteful Govt. spending.

She's right, cuz.

I wanted to comment on Cals post but no matter how I tried to 'splain Ricky it sounded slutty and horrible.

Danny is right though. Don'tcha think?

Hell I feel sorry for the guy.
