Paula Broadwell, the biographer with whom former CIA director David Petraeus had an extramarital affair, abandoned her bid for a doctorate from Harvard in 2007, failing to advance to PhD candidacy after four semesters at the Kennedy School of Government, and now faces the prospect of an ethical review at Kings College London, where she has resumed pursuit of a doctorate. The revelations about her mixed academic record add to the portrait of a principal figure in the Petraeus scandal who has refused to respond to multiple Globe requests for comment and hasnt spoken publicly since disclosure of her relationship with

why the folk would ANYONE speak to the press about ANYTHING? They are liars and thieves and fully responsible for turning us over to the Commies
fubs
I don’t trust anything in the Boston Globe/NYT, not even the ball scores.
The Boston Globe is the campaign wing and part of the chief propaganda wing of the Democrat party. Harvard professors and Boston Globe news reporters all work in the same circles. A negative story from a Harvard professor about a former student is rare and very unproffesional.
Petraeus obviously has some dirt or inside info and Broadwell must know have this information as well.
The democrats are going full out now.

“The Democrat machine is in full smear campaign.”
I’m not sure what you mean by this. If we accept that Petraeus was asked to resign because they didn’t like how he was staking out a “don’t blame us” position on Benghazi, then Broadwell did the WH a huge favor by giving them a pretext for said firing. Unlike how Lewinsky was handled, I don’t see any effort by this administration to “rehabilitate” Petraeus or make it look like he was an innocent victim. He self-reported dishonoring himself and his position and they accepted his resignation. End of story. What am I missing?
“dirt or inside info” about what?
I am deeply suspicious of all writers guilders, after having read Witness by Whittaker Chambers and his revelations about how it is crawling with commies
Harvard professors rarely negatively smear an ex-student. Very strange, we'll see....
I’m not sympathetic to Broadwell at all! She fell short of her goals at Harvard. So, she fell on her back and used her breasts and vagina to achieve her goals. And if she had unauthorized classified information on her computer, put her sorry ass in GiTMO!
well guess what DrC you moron he wasn’t “asked to resign” he was destroyed by a snakelike machine because he wouldn’t testify in accordance with their demands. are you really that stupid
Actually, Obama never finished his first book - the one for which he received the $120,000 advance from Poseidon (a Simon & Schuster company) in November 1990.
Perhaps the paper might start looking into the Obamadork’s non-existent academic records.
And the N inconsistencies in his book - where N is an almost uncountable number.
And his non existent real birth certificates.
And his non existent passport records.
Etc, etc, etc.
(As for Harvard, I’m surprised that they’d refuse admission to anyone...given their rather shoddy record of admitting the Obamadork and “electing” him to the Law Review. Heh!)
exactly.....this smells
LOL! The Globe was never this interested in Elizabeth Warren.
The same newspaper that refused to report on the Edwards affair because he was a private citizen, etc, etc...
Just simply amazing at the rate at which THE MEDIA can get out information to the public when it REALLY wants to. Hey Boston Globe, how about some interviews with those 30 people who were saved by the Ty Woods and Glen Doherty?!
...and she used them well.
Benghazi???
oh you are probably right.
You could say she snatched a General.
Whenever you have the LA Times and Boston Globe saying, “Look at the women!”, that means you should be looking somewhere else.
Especially since she was a West Point Grad. A far superior academic institution than Harvard. Something smells here.
[Paula Broadwell] was not someone you would think of as a critical thinker. I dont remember anything about her as a student. I remember her as a personality.
- Paula Broadwell’s former professor at Harvard. Broadwell is the biographer with whom former CIA director David Petraeus had an extramarital affair
I think Broadwells problem is that her job was keeping an eye on Petraeus with her legs open and her mouth shut. She blew it when she sent e-mails to hostess Jill telling her to back off her man. It escalated until the evil Republicans found out about it and then it was all over. Now Broadwell is no use to Obama criminal enterprise she is being reminded to keep her mouth shut.
Paula probably thinks the sex was great, but does he respect her as a person?
"She blew it..."
They usually smear a person like this before their testimony. Remember the Clinton days?
On the serious side, she may truly be someone who is not a critical thinker. She had a clearance, and she had the knowledge that unauthorized possession of classified information can result in a fine and/or prison. Guess what? It appears that she had unauthorized classified information on her personal computer. Not a good example of critical thinking at all! Whew! Sucks to be her right now.
Are they attacking Broadwell for having children? She probably thought she could do it all—write a dissertation, be a wife, serve in the military, etc.
Her boys are how old? Five and six? Or six and seven?
I watched a video of her from the book tour for “All In.” She did not impress me. Sounded like a teen, or freshman college student giving a book report. Definitely not a brain. She was probably helped through West Point the same way Hillary was helped through Yale Law — to fulfill the female graduate quota.
After reading the full article, I have to wonder about these liberal professors talking about someone’s private academic record. Has the Globe done any reporting on Obama’s bio? Haha. Right.
Did Paula Broadwell adopt her children or what?
That is a point that keeps me curious. Despite what I believe about Broadwell, I have to remember who is attacking her.

"Uh hehhehhuhhuhhuh"
Haha! Wish I had saved the YouTube link...it was a clip in which Broadwell is speaking of Petraeus’ devotion to his wife and family. It is clear in the video that Broadwell is “smitten” with the General.
I think that is the clip. Why did she need a co-writer? He looks bored as hell.
You’re missing that the Whitehouse knew about the affair before they made Petraeus director. They won’t appoint somebody they don’t have something on. It’s called Chicago politics.
Looks like she didn’t pass her comps!!
KK <— who passed hers this summer
I am reminded of 4 Lacrosse players being hung out to dry by Duke based on the obvious lies of a crazy ho.
This is no different. It wasn’t about the truth then. It is not about the truth now.
Benghazi. Say it again: Benghazi.
This is about complicity in murder and terrorism, not sex.
This is about Obama, not Broadwell.
Benghazi.
just...wow. She sounds like a groupie, not a professional author.
The full article is one big hit piece
so says the Globe....
