“My opinion is that it was the thrill of having the power to F*&* up people’s lives ... probably including her husband’s, why not? I assume hurting her children wasn’t a motive, but you never know.”

That is projecting - making up a story. He wanted her or it wouldn’t have happened. She wanted him or it wouldn’t have happened. That is all we know and both are at fault since they were married to other people. We know nothing else. Most of these posts have dumped on her as the guilty party - whore/slut, with no bad names for the general and that is bunk. Historically, women get the blame for the man not keeping his penis in his pants. Actual prostitutes would be broke and quit that job if there weren’t gobs of men wanting to pay for that. Men create that job but let’s blame the women, certainly not the men - bovine scatology.

Yes, my original comment was speculation (not projection, as I haven’t the slightest interest in other women’s husbands.) Yes, Gen. Petraeus and Mrs. Broadwell are equally responsible.

I'm laughing at your rebuttals to all the people who seem to think the General/head of the CIA was a backwaters rube, put under a spell by an evil painted city woman, and had no control over his actions.

Keep up the good work.
