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, who did not want to be identified while discussing personal matters. In a letter to the C.I.A. work force on Friday, Mr. Petraeus acknowledged having the affair. Ms. Broadwell has not responded to repeated requests for comment.

Well this is a breaking news flash. Everything I have read up to this says Paula was embedded with the general in Afghanistan.

She was embedded, alright...

Maybe the deal was, General, say what we want you to say about this stupid video or else we will do to you what we are doing to that other general caught messing around... play nice and we'll let you retire quietly.

Then news gets out in spite of the deal through Kelley, so it's play nice and we'll let you quietly resign.

No matter what, the investigation of Petreaus had to begin earlier than they admit because all the top dog lib donors were involved in the get Petreaus effort back during the surge. The libs have files on everybody.
