The collapse of the dazzling career of CIA Director David H. Petraeus was triggered when a woman with whom he was having an affair sent threatening e-mails to another woman close to him, according to three senior law enforcement officials with knowledge of the episode.
The recipient of the e-mails was so frightened that she went to the FBI for protection and help tracking down the sender, according to the officials. The FBI investigation traced the threats to Paula Broadwell, a former military officer and a Petraeus biographer, and uncovered explicit e-mails between Broadwell and Petraeus, the officials said.

It’s not ‘looks’ ..... it’s ‘power’ & P4 had it.
Yes.
As G-d is my Witness, I cannot for the life of me understand why supposedly ‘smart’ men will allow sex to literally destroy their entire lives, families, careers. This is a weakness that I simply do not fathom.
Age doesn’t matter. It’s the allure of power.
They're no different than the rest of society and are merely a front page reflection of it.........
How many of your friends, or your neighbors or your co-workers or your bosses have ever been involved in adultry? Don't know? You might be surprised.....
Petraeus is an adulterer and as far as I'm concerned, that's his only sin. He just made the mistake of getting involved with a now proven wack-job and I know several people who have made that same mistake.
With that being said, there's no doubt in my mind that Petraeus would never compromise the security of this country should he have ever been a victim of blackmail due to this affair.
Petraeus has now resigned, as he should have, his career is likely ruined so now, what do we do with Mrs. Broadwell?
The slow drip of information is devastating.
Too bad the FBI were told not to break the story until AFTER the election, in order to protect the inCompetent In Chief.
Panetta set him up? After all he was BJ’s Chief of Staff during Lewinsky.
The Obama administration did not find out until Election Day. If you believe that garbage, you can just call me Santa Claus.
It’s even worse if he was distracted by the affair while commanding troops in Afghanistan. He laid, people died?
I wondered if Broadwell might have done this before... now I’d bet she has.

Thank you
Warren made the appointment last year when she was helping to set up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, mandated by the Dodd-Frank as part of the response to the Wall Street meltdown. "

So, it certainly seems like the Petraeus family has no issue working hand-in-hand with the commie 0bama regime.
Nope, Rush says 0bama is Santa Claus, which makes sense as we now there is no Sanity Clause in our pact with Zer0.
Get her a spot in the next Survivor cast.
“a woman with whom he was having an affair sent threatening e-mails to another woman close to him”
I just dug this up from a previous post:
“The U.S. mission in Benghazi was participative in running weapons from Libya to Syria via Turkey.”

Not only was Petreaus caught in the middle of a cat fight, but he was in the middle of a gun running operation that makes “Operation Fast and Furious” look like, well, a cat fight.
I suppose if the affair had been an with another man, they would have given him a promotion and a pat on the back, or a hug. Sigh.
Yep
Sounds like Patreaus was sucking up to Bammy the last time he testified to Congress about dear old Ben Gahzi.
I wonder if Gen. Petraeus can sing?
