Women, downfall of humanity since the dawn of history.

They deserve each other. And throw in also that shirtless FBI agent who, once removed from the investigation, ran to his congressman who later contacted Cantor.

The victims are US citizens.

Honestly, If two consenting adults I don't know screw each other, or cheat on their spouses, that's a problem for them and their spouses and the others directly involved, but it really doesn't impact me one bit.

And hypocrisy.

It's the secret-keepers keeping secrets -- that's the important part of the story, whether these high-ranking generals were exposing government secrets. The women are at issue only to the extent that they received classified information and may have divulged it to others.

Ugh.

There are more important things in this story than Petraeus' pickle inserting itself anywhere.

But the media and most everyone else is locked onto the sex part (which is so junior high stupid it hurts to read some of it) when there is a very serious part that hasn't got much air time questioning. Broadwell said, during a speech she did in Denver, that the CIA was holding Libyans prisoners (which they are NOT supposed to do, Obama changed that) and that may have been the trigger to the Consulate attack.

We have been taking a beating for seduction. *Typical swear words*

Look let's be blunt. The privates do the dying, but most of the casualties are due to the generals. The idea that they can escape the consequences of losing TWO WARS, but get punished for SEX, is a crime in and of itself. Kill a few hundred muslims, no problem, pick a rich white mistress, you screw up.

I will be real blunt, as long as consenting adults are involved, I do not care what goes on in bedrooms.

Now, I do not xcuse the ladies involved either, especially as they seemed to throw around titles like they were fashion statements. And anyone stupid enough to email things about a CIA member is stupid.

However, the generals are the ones who should know better. There is a line in the internationale that says "we will shoot the generals on our own side." Not saying we should shoot John, but he should know that in the rules of the game, he would be the one losing his head.
