General Petraeus scandal

[Bear]

Has anyone else been following the General David Petraeus scandal in the news? Do you think that it is really all about his alleged affair or is it just a way to keep attention off of other matters?

Keep attention off other matters.

I don't care that the guy had an affair, except for the possible security breaches and blackmail potential due to his position. I agree that it's a handy distraction though.

Do you think it was all about Bill Clinton's affair, or do you think it was just a way to keep attention off other matters? If somebody wants to give somebody a black eye, they will do it.

I haven't been following the scandal because I stopped watching the news years ago. However, I've heard bits and pieces about the affair and I don't really know if it's "just" about the affair or not. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that it was really a cover-up of something more serious.

I haven't followed the story, but it does have a way of following you. I would think, however, that the head of the CIA would be able to keep from getting caught having an affair. I mean, come on, I know guys who have kept their affairs secret for years.
