Peirs Morgan Tonight has an interesting exchange bewtween Bob Baer (ex-CIA operative) and Suzanne Kelly

PIERS MORGAN TONIGHT[/URL] (excerpted)

MORGAN: Tonight with breaking and shocking news of General Petraeus' resignation that an affair has cost him his job as the boss of the CIA.

BAER: I've never seen it happen. I've seen the CIA think it has a problem and they go to the FBI and file a crime report saying, look, you know, there's something has happened here, look into this, and there is complete cooperation between the FBI and a the CIA in a criminal investigation.

But the idea the FBI is investigating a CIA director for an extramarital affair is just extraordinary. I have never seen it happen, and it smacks of George Orwell, really. You know --

MORGAN: Ostensibly, how big a security risk would that be if that was, indeed, what it was? I mean, it's hard to construct a massive security breach, isn't it?

BAER: It's virtually not. I mean, I could -- you know, I'm not going to, but there are four or five CIA directors I know carrying on extramarital affairs while they were director. The FBI was never brought in. The Office of Security was never brought in. It was ignored, it went away quietly, we'll never know about them. So, this is absolutely extraordinary. I'm telling you, there's more to do than with sex. There's something going on here which I can't explain, and I think we're going to find out very soon.

[Interuption by Suzanne Kelly)

KELLY: I just -- I hate to be so aggressive against Bob, but that was spoken like a true man. I mean, if there were other people who had security clearances at the level of David Petraeus who were sleeping with people outside of their marriage, I would want to know who they were. I would want to make sure they weren't trying to exploit that relationship in any way or that national security secrets were going to make that person vulnerable. I feel like -- to think that's just an affair and pass it off is a little bit --

KELLY: ....You cannot have an affair if you are the director of the CIA or the president of the United States because of the quite obvious risk of blackmail or like being the president when particularly in this modern era, you just cannot go there. You cannot have an affair if you are the director of the CIA or the president of the United States because of the quite obvious risk of blackmail or just being held to ransom in some manner by whoever it may be.

BAER: No. No, it's an American citizen. It's different.

KELLY: I know Bob is going to disagree with me on this.

MORGAN: Let Suzanne go first. I'll come back to you, Bob.

KELLY: Yes.

MORGAN: Bob, let Suzanne say something first. I'll come back to you.

KELLY: If somebody has a level of national security like that, they are trusted by the American people to do what's right. That doesn't mean, of course, they're not going to make mistakes in their life, no. But if they're carrying on an affair for an extended period of time and they're using their government's addresses and things like that, which are all accusations at this point, but if any of that turns out to be true, the FBI would have to look into that, right? Wouldn't you want someone to look into that and see if that person were being exploited? The American deserve it.

MORGAN: Bob, if you don't agree, why?

BAER: No, no, no. It's the way it works is when it's found out that the CIA director or whoever it is goes to the president and says, listen, this is going on, it's done very quietly. It never ends up in a political resignation like this. It's all done very quietly.

The above examples are a glimpse of what has been going on under the radar. It is no coincidence Broadwell's article appeared after the intelligence briefing. I don't know if it is a response to the briefing or a response to the coming storm.

Baer knows what is and is not the norm based on his experience in the CIA. He also knows how to read between the lines. Suzanne Kelly did everything in her power to put sex and extra-marital affairs back in the realm of political sins. She is carrying someone's water.

The stench is growing
