Where does it say that? I must be reading too fast / reading the wrong article. All I can see is extramarital affair.

I was going to post in this thread about how I expected better integrity from the General and the biographer (who seems to be a bit of a looker), and then saw the decay of thread potential. In response, I offer you this image macro with my departure.

Really. You really are going to go "I expected better of him", when all that has happened is that he had a nonsexual relationship with that woman, and he resigned because his integrity forced him to?

(Besides, this just means that he's just human after all. Not the living embodiment of soldiery virtues. Doesn't make him any less respectable in my opinion.)

Was it a non-sexual relationship? I may have misread/read a different news source in that case. The article I read in the Saturday paper made it out to be a bit of a scandal.

I can acknowledge that he's human, but a former Staff Officer having an affair with a Senior Officer when both are married is something I thought a bit below Petraeus.

The article linked early in the thread goes out of its way to state that the relationship was non-sexual.  It was, in essence, a potential security breach waiting to happen, and the director removed himself before it became a problem.

Um, non sexual relationship?

Did they meet up for boardgames or something?
People not allowed to have friends?

Help me out there lol.

Apparently, what happened was that the FBI had cause to examine General Petraeus' email account and the accounts of others surrounding him. While examining them, they found a stash of love letters going back and forth between Petraeus and Ms Broadwell. There has been no indication of them acting upon this; or if there is, noone's saying anything.

Neither the time nor the place, LD.

My mistake.  I read "not investigating for wrongdoing" and immediately jumped to a conclusion.
