WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A computer used by Paula Broadwell, the woman whose affair with CIA Director David Petraeus led to his resignation, contained substantial classified information that should have been stored under more secure conditions, law enforcement and national security officials said on Wednesday.

The contents and amount of the classified material - and questions about how Broadwell got it - are significant enough to warrant a continuing investigation, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment publicly.

The details about material held by Broadwell, a reserve officer in military intelligence, emerged Wednesday as the Pentagon suspended Broadwell's security clearance.

This bimbo couldn’t even keep her driver’s license safe, it was found in a DC park.

She is in no way qualified to have any secrets.

Not to mention how she blew this story wide open!

I think the drivers license found in the park was to send a message to her... A La Vince Foster.

Assuming she had authorization, there would be logs of her having signed the computer in and out of the secure site.

At the very least...her Army career is wrapped up and finished. Journalism career? I don’t know if any major newspaper will hire her for the foreseeable future. She probably ends up out in Idaho in three years...teaching at some community college.

Or MSNBC.

Of course, they all carry these things on their laptops.

Not if they want to avoid jail time. There are very strict rules on the handling of classified information, and copying it to a personal laptop is way, way over that line.

i looked this up and i don’t think there is anything to it. Seaport E is a contract vehicle; this guy is vp of the company, not of seaport-e. This seems to be a small business with a lot of small business companies attached. I dont’ think there is much there.
