By now – the world knows that CIA director – David Petraeus – has resigned after cheating on his wife.  The name of Petraeus’ mistress is Paula Broadwell – his biographer and a very high achiever as explained by the NY Times HERE:

“Paula Broadwell, whose affair with the nation’s C.I.A. director led to his resignation on Friday, was the valedictorian of her high school class and homecoming queen, a fitness champion at West Point with a graduate degree from Harvard, and a model for a machine gun manufacturer.”

She’s an overachiever to the max apparently.  And apparently – the affair was uncovered in an FBI investigation after they “discovered the relationship by monitoring Petraeus’ emails, after being alerted Broadwell may have had access to his personal email account” according to the Associated Press.  The video of her with John Stewart is a little weird now that we know she was achieving full access to General Petraeus.

And this is floating around the internet as possibly a written message from the husband of Paula Broadwell.  On July 13, 2012 – an unknown submission was sent in to the NY Times asking for advice about how to handle his wife cheating on him with a government executive whose “role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership”.  The 2nd submission on the page HERE - you see for yourself if this her husband or not.

Myself – I’m very interested to find out what really happened here.  Someone notified the FBI of a potential affair – who?  Things like this are very often not what they appear; when I see this – I see politics and intelligence work.  Maybe I’m just cynical and I certainly have nothing to substantiate my “gut feeling” but the timing is interesting nonetheless.  I’ll leave this to others to deduce.  I see a potential political candidate getting knocked out of politics early; maybe that’s not true at all.
