Latest from WSJ - Jill Tried to get FBI to Drop Case..

On Tuesday, people familiar with the case said that at one point in the summer, after the investigation began pointing to larger potential national security issues, Ms. Kelley tried to get the FBI to drop the matter. The people said she made the request because she was worried about the personal information being provided to investigators.

One small (maybe) piece of this story that bugs me is why was the FBI agent sending shirtless pics of himself to Jill Kelly? Was he undercover and trying to lure her in??

The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis

Local Tampa Paper Discusses Jill Kelley's social skills & financial problems..
(Financial problems are not limited to real estate investments...)

..."They (the twins) could work a room better than any politician," she said. "They're bright, fun, just who you'd want at your party."

The DeLongs began including them at base functions, "and once you're on the list, you're on the list," she said. That friendship extended to Gen. John Abizaid, who ran CentCom from July 2003 to March 2007.

"They really connected because of their shared Lebanese heritage," said DeLong...

Soon after Petraeus arrived at MacDill in 2008, the Kelleys invited the general and his wife to a small dinner at which they introduced them to noteworthy Tampa residents...

Lawsuits show the Kelleys were treading water by then, when Scott Kelley was making just the minimum payment on a Visa Signature card that had accumulated a balance over $70,000 and was taking on hundreds of dollars in interest each month. According to a lawsuit filed this year, Kelley defaulted on that card in 2010, the same year Regions bank sued him and his wife over a debt in excess of $250,000. Chase sued for more than $25,000 and Regions Bank filed to foreclose on their Bayshore home. The bank said it was owed more than $1.7 million, and that it had not gotten any payments since Sept. 2009.

They defaulted on more credit cards and the lawsuits stacked up, but they continued to host parties and held tight to their friendship with Petraeus...

Sad but true...

Hidden w/I the scandal is this little gem...

When Paula was writing her book, Petraeus would send his private jet to pick her up in the US & bring her to Afghanistan...

I can confirm (from other research) that all generals have their own jets...

I didn't know they could use them to pick up their mistresses...

There is also talk about the CENTCOM motorcades that took various Generals to the Scott's home for parties... 23 to 28 limos... Commenters are suggesting that that's bigger than "El Presidentes" before the uprising begins...

Here's an article about another general who misused his private plane -

So Law School was it. I thought I recognized a familiar pattern. Unlike you I got out after a year and a half and did something far more rewarding in my estimation. Now back to the current issue. I am sure you are aware that Val Jarret was raised in Iran. The Kelly women in crisis struck Lebanon. As well as Broadwell speaking supposedly fluid Arabic. Too much of a coincidence to just be happenstance.

Jill Kelley asks for 'diplomatic protection' from cops

TAMPA --
Upset at reporters and others outside her home, Jill Kelley has called police four times over the past two days, in one case requesting "diplomatic protection."

"I am an honorary consul general," Jill Kelley said in one call Sunday to a police non-emergency number. "I have inviolability. They should not be on my property. I don't know if you want to get diplomatic, uh, protection involved as well. It's against the law to cross my property. It's inviolable."

Jill Kelley's personalized Florida license plate reads, "Honorary Consul, JK1.

I think I disagree. If Jill's a spook, she's not an ideologue, she's the classic "patsy" spook...

I think almost all female American "traitors" have been seduced or in some way coerced into spying on their own....

She's an unofficial whatever for the "coalition village" - home to all the visiting Arab officers...

She's clearly having serious financial problems...

She seems like she would be easy to turn...

Do we know the FBI agent's name? Is it Mohammed?

Petraeus leaves behind an agency that has strayed from intelligence to paramilitary-type activities....

“I would not say that CIA has been taken over by the military, but I would say that the CIA has become more militarized,” Philip Giraldi, a retired career CIA case officer, told The Nation. “A considerable part of the CIA budget is now no longer spying; it’s supporting paramilitaries who work closely with JSOC to kill terrorists, and to run the drone program.” The CIA, he added, “is a killing machine now.”...

During Petraeus’s short tenure at the CIA, drone strikes conducted by the agency, sometimes in conjunction with JSOC, escalated dramatically in Yemen; in his first month in office, he oversaw a series of strikes that killed three US citizens, including 16-year-old Abdulrahman Awlaki. In some cases, such as the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, commandos from the elite JSOC operated under the auspices of the CIA, so that the mission could be kept secret if it went wrong.

One current State Department liaison who has also worked extensively with JSOC describes the CIA as becoming “a mini-Special Operations Command that purports to be an intelligence agency.” For all the praise Petraeus won for his counterinsurgency strategy and the “surge” in Iraq, he says, his real legacy is as a “political tool,” an enabler of those within the national security apparatus who want to see a continuation of covert global mini-wars....

WTF? "Shirtless" FBI Agent is Hard-Charging Counter-Terrorism Star?

The F.B.I. agent who helped start the investigation that led to the resignation of David H. Petraeus as C.I.A. director is a “hard-charging” veteran counterterrorism investigator who used his command of French in investigating the foiled “millennium” terrorist plot in 1999, colleagues said on Wednesday.

The agent, Frederick W. Humphries II, 47, took the initial complaint from Jill Kelley, the Tampa, Fla., hostess who was socially active in military circles there, about e-mails she found disturbing that accused her of inappropriately flirtatious behavior toward Mr. Petraeus...

Colleagues and news reports described the role of Mr. Humphries, in just his third year at the F.B.I., in building the case against Ahmed Ressam, who was detained as he tried to enter the United States from Canada in 1999 with a plan to set off a bomb at Los Angeles International Airport.

In May 2010, after he had moved to the Tampa field office, Mr. Humphries was attacked outside the gate of MacDill Air Force Base by a disturbed knife-wielding man. He fatally shot the man, and the shooting was later ruled to be an appropriate use of force, according to bureau records and colleagues.

Two former law enforcement colleagues said Mr. Humphries was a solid agent with experience in counterterrorism, conservative political views and a reputation for aggressiveness.

Re: Petraeus Latest - "Shirtless" FBI Agent is Hard-Charging Counter-Terrorism Legend...
So the "Shirtless" FBI Agent is a solid counter-terrorism agent who had prior dealings with Jill...

Jill Kelley exchanged multiple e-mails & instant messages PER DAY with Allied Commander in Afghanistan...These e-mails/messages were sent to his official accounts....(work related)...

Jill's brother-in-law is intelligence contractor...

Jill was party planner for Coalition Village - Arab Officers assigned to CENTCOM JSOC (joint special operations command)...

She was an intelligence asset...

BUT -

Jill has serious financial issues (she & her husband can't even pay off their credit cards).

She & her sister are f*cking nuts (I need diplomatic protection, I am inviolable; report that she claimed process server attacked her)

Are we that pathetic? Did we actually use a woman who is a walking security risk for important intelligence work?

military intelligence is truly an oxymoron..

I'm tired of this story....

But I have to admit, I did read this...

[link to m.washingtonpost.com]

Paula Broadwell was a rising star who seemed destined for a sparkling career in foreign policy. A West Point graduate who excelled in triathlons, she was pursuing a doctorate at Harvard University and had found a mentor in Gen. David H. Petraeus, an iconic U.S. military leader.

But in 2007, Broadwell was asked to leave the doctoral program at Harvard, where she had met Petraeus a year earlier, because her coursework didn’t meet the university’s demanding standards, according to people familiar with what happened there.

What Broadwell did next was a signature feature of her resilience and drive — and what detractors say is her tendency to overstate her credentials.

Broadwell eventually leveraged her unfinished dissertation into a best-selling biography of Petraeus, a project that gave her almost unlimited access to the general when he commanded U.S. troops in Afghanistan and later when he was director of the CIA. That access led to the extramarital affair that upended Petraeus’s career and shined a bright light on Broadwell’s....

Summary -

Paula did not cut the academic mustard at Harvard...After earning her Master's, she was not invited to continue in the PHD program....

She tried to put together a "red team" for Stanley McCrystal, but then latched on to Petraeus...

She has occasionally padded her resume...

A few snarky comments from DC insiders included....
