Petraeus resigns as CIA director, blaming having an affair.

"Petraeus was scheduled to testify next week on Capitol Hill in hearings on the deaths of four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador and two CIA security officers, in Libya in September. U.S. officials said Friday that the controversy surrounding that attack — and the administration’s shifting explanations for it — played no role in Petraeus’s decision to resign."

What a joke. Everybody in Washington is having affairs. But maybe this woman works for Mossad. Or maybe this is about Benghazi.
