The CIA does as a matter of policy, does not confirm or deny operational details or even outlines except to the National Security Council, the President, the Congressional Intelligence Committees, or those with specific need to know.
If Petraeus is still the man some of us believe him to be, he will wait until Monday morning start of the news cycle and then publicly resign, citing the lack of action and subsequent cover-up as the reason why. The incompetence and inaction of the Executive exposed CIA operatives and assets in Northern Africa. It was not the first time that the President compromised National Security for the sake of political advantage. The President needs to be exposed.
Petraeus can do so.
Great, and then we take our chances with getting another Leftist in to run the CIA.
Talk about your lose/lose scenario.
