When was the last time you saw a public official purged for sex, or even running a brothel?
The real subject involves jobs given, people murdered and blame displaced, but you are not going to hear about that-it is not for public consumption and will take place behind closed doors.

News flash, powerful men exercise poor judgment with sexual indiscretions. And as I said, there's a whole slew of women that exercise that SAME poor judgment behind everyone one of them.
It's NOTHING new, and all the reasons behind have been beat to death and covered ad nauseam on (gender relations study/human behavior study/female day time talk show, etc here).

Great lady I'm sure, but I can see why Petraeus (or anyone else) might be tempted to stray when confronted with a choice of Holly vs. Broadwell.
I didn't say it was right or justified, But I understand how it happened. My opinion, or yours, or the FBIs, or anyone else's is totally irrelevant on that subject...that's between the two people involved and them alone.
EDIT: Looking at the news this morning, it seems like Petraeus is in agreement with you.
