Patraeus Sex Scandal - More Details Emerge
[link to www.montrealgazette.com]


WASHINGTON - A CIA sex scandal seemingly lifted from the script of a teenaged soap opera is enthralling the United States despite the aftermath of a presidential election that has spurred a substantive debate about the changing face of America.

Divided as they may be politically, however, Americans are united in their fascination with the scandal engulfing David Petraeus, the director of the world-renowned spy agency who quit last week after admitting an extra-marital affair.

Why are these otherwise brilliant men soooo stupid? If I were his wife, the stupid factor would burn me more than the sex factor. Come on if you want to have an affair, at least pick someone who's mentally stable and truly cares about you.

This whole mess is somehow connected to the Benghazi. It turns out the CIA was operating a secret prison where terrorists were being held.

They actually served a search warrant on her home several months ago when there was an open investigation. It took place shortly after the Libya 911 attack.

I think they might be looking for specific documents that show Broadwell's knowledge of the fact that Petreaus told her the Benghazi attack in Libya took place because the 'CIA Annex' was actually a secret prison which held rebel prisoners.

The attack was a rescue effort by the enemy to free those CIA torture victims.

Precisely....It would indeed be a sad day if after all said and done it is discovered that the general didn't actually have any affair. Now, how would the people savouring over every bit of this news feel?

Petraeus had to leave. One reason could be for the fact that he doesn't want to attend the upcoming hearing but I struggle with that line of thought because his resignation and the Benghazi incident occurred on 9/11 dates so it was at the very least symbolic and perhaps planned in advance that way.

The other thing is that, if the PTB could cover up Kennedy, 9/11 etc even with the commission enquiry that went along with it, they can sure cover up Benghazi. So why aren't they doing so. The only thing I can think of is that they sure don't have time for any of this anymore as whatever they have done to get to this stage, they have done and cant tolerate any explanations. So this could just be the case with Petraeus and a cover story for this had to be invented for what cant be disclosed to the public.

So now, without the distraction of an ongoing senate committee hearing that could potentially drag on for who know what, the General could still carry on the PTB's plans in his hideout as he is still a very, very high valued asset to them. Or he could have simply gone underground as S is about to HTF.

I agree! It was planned for sure. I would guess that almost everything we see on MSM is planned.
