Well, no. That would be Petraeus. He's the one with the responsibility. And he violated it. Not to mention her.
Possibly I've just missed it, but I haven't seen much discussion of his security screening.
Apparently it was an open secret around his headquarters that he was banging the biographer. These things are almost never really secret.
Who does the security screening for the head of the CIA??? The Hardy Boys? We can't catch an obvious security issue like this before he gets confirmed?
Paula Broadwell is a former Army intelligence officer, and a current reserve officer.
She had confidential material on her laptop computer.
She divulged classified material in public speeches.
She compromised the security of a flag officer.
She DAMN SURE IS guilty of security breeches.
But, yes, Petraeus is the worse scoundrel in the affair. No question.
Nevertheless, they both deserve to be shot.
