You know...I think this would make a mighty fine movie script. For the general...I’d suggest Bruce Willis, and for the tramp/journalist...maybe Lindsay Lohan? For the FBI agent who puts this together...maybe Jerry Stiller (Arthur from King of Queens).
It seems to me that Petraeus should be committing “suicide” any time now....
James Angelton, a tough SOB, was involved in the humiliation of someone that was connected to Obama through the Kevin Bacon game.
He was ruthless in achieving his goals.
The Jessup clan was involved with American University in Beirut.
Jessup was buddies with Dean Acheson and vouched for Alger Hiss. He was also related through marriage to Obama’s New York Girlfriend.
Angleton humiliated Stephen Penrose (eventually President of American University in Beirut)
in a Super Spy machiavellian game that nearly sent him off the Deep End.
Penrose is the one that recruited Wisner - of Operation Mockingbird fame.
This has nothing to do with the current story. But it shows the games that can be played between the players
I believe that William Colby was murdered.
David Petraeus is just lucky someone didn’t try to kill him.
If we’re talking reality, fine, we need an in-your face uprising... if we’re talking fantasy world wishful thinking, just stop... if we’re talking movie plot, just write the script and make the damn movie already.
I take it the sex scandal worked perfectly well as blackmail—up until they wanted him to perjure himself to Congress.
Did Israel Honey Trap David Petraeus?

With the breaking news on General Petraeus (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/cia-chief-petraeus-resigns-reportedly-over-affair-201305343–politics.html) you might be interested in taking a look at the Mondoweiss.net link (at the following New Statesman article) which broke the story about email exchanges with David Petraeus which US mainstream media ignored as well (as also mentioned on Press TV via http://tinyurl.com/proisraelbiasedmedia & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEtASJOjDU8).
Petraeus is 60. He didn’t grow up with computers.
Yes, Obama could blackmail him. I saw the Broadwell interview on the Stewart Show. One of the last things she says before the commercial break is that Petraeus isn’t a strategic thinker. He had a good reputation with the public and he’s not a strategic thinker and he’s slavishly loyal to his superiors. Just what Obama wanted. And the CIA is tasked to look at what’s going on outside the United States. Now, if you’re Obama, and you’re setting the Middle East on fire for fun and profit, you’d better make sure to have someone you can control in charge of the agency who just might discover your dirty little secret. Obama was blackmailing Petraeus and it was easy as fishin’.
Ping a ling a ling... to the wilderness of mirrors....
ML: Just because they were having an affair?
JJA: Unlikely. Most of the time, there’s either evidence, or allegations, that classified information has been compromised. The Intelligence Community, and the national security crowd more broadly, isn’t a model of virtue. CIA has had many cases of top officials sleeping around, sometimes with underlings, sometimes with outsiders. Sometimes the Agency has taken punitive action, sometimes not…
ML: Yeah, I know. And by the way, you know that letter to the New York Times’ “ethicist” from a cuckolded husband that everyone suspected to be about the Petraeus affair? The Times says it wasn’t. So…
JJA: So, if the letter is kosher, there’s another high-level official carrying on an affair. No surprise.
ML: I think that blackmail is not what it used to be. When I had to pass security exams, I was told, for example, that gays could be blackmailed because they were terrified of being outed. But that was in the eighties. I doubt a threat of exposure would be very effective nowadays.
JJA: That’s what I hear, too. So why did the bureau fear Petraeus might be blackmailable?
ML: Right. If someone threatened to expose him, couldn’t he just say “be sure to print the really great pictures”?
JJA: I’d have to know more about his psychology. But I found his “message to the CIA” confession quite amazing. It reminds me of confessions from the Soviet purge trials. It’s one of the most humiliating statements ever. Which baffles me. Why didn’t he just resign?
ML: Indeed. And there’s that odd statement from him, “the president permitted me to resign…”
JJA: As if he couldn’t just turn in his badges and go home.
ML: Maybe that’s where the blackmail comes in.
JJA: Good one! The White House knew about the investigation (the FBI would have briefed Holder, and he would have told the president) for quite a while, but kept him at Langley until the election was over.
ML: Makes sense.
JJA: Sure, but it also suggests that they had some way to keep him on the job, doesn’t it? And that “some way” isn’t loyalty or friendship, because when he went, he went in the most devastatingly damaging way possible.
ML: And you’re saying that’s not his decision, it was imposed on him?
JJA: What do I know? But it sure stinks of that. He wasn’t very masochistic, was he?
