A Little Secret

Washington has expressed shock over the resignation of CIA director David Petraeus after his affair with a biographer and a former army officer came to light. At first I thought that the former general was ousted by a cabal of right-minded thinkers seeking to avenge his wrong-doings in Afghanistan and Iraq, however Petraeus's meandering from his wife was part of an ongoing investigations into abusive emails by the general's paramour to a friend of his wife. There is something really funky about this story. Firstly any CIA director who can't keep his affair secret should be fired by lack of discretion, but Paula Broadwell doesn't seem the type not to hold her sand. This scandal has all the hallmarks of the hacked phone and internet. And only one group of people do that. Newscorp. Personally I'd greenlight his affair faster than okaying the assassination of Osama Bin Ladin. 'A Collosal mistake'. I don't think so. There is something else to this story. What?
