Petraeus mistress had substantial classified data on computer: sources
Reuters ^ | Nov. 14, 2012 | Mark Hosenball

(Reuters) - A computer used by Paula Broadwell, the woman whose affair with CIA Director David Petraeus led to his resignation, contained substantial classified information that should have been stored under more secure conditions, law enforcement and national security officials said on Wednesday.

The contents and amount of the classified material - and questions about how Broadwell got it - are significant enough to warrant a continuing investigation, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to comment publicly.

As said in other places Petraeus may be surpasing Tiger Woods in his rapid fall from grace. This story is incredible.

This is all theater. Real investigators do not puke out summaries of what has been discovered during the course of ongoing, real investigations.

Moscow show trial coming right up.

Ordinary defense contractors who have classified material on a private, unsecured computer would be in major trouble right off the bat.

But if you have already compromised national security, and caused the head of the CIA to resign in disgrace, I guess a little thing like theft of classified material would fall into the "no big deal" category.

This story is doing quite well as to its purpose: keeping Benghazi out of the news and press questions.

Doesn’t mean anything BUT...

1. Petraeus and Allen were Arabists
2. The twins were Lebanese Marionite Christians —allies of Israel
3. Broadwell had been numerous times in Israel, probably trained with Israeli intel
4. Looking at Iran, Israel just now has higher than average need for access to any intel regarding ME matters

This doesn’t MEAN anything....any ideas? Is this nuts?

I thought she had a top secret clearance.

What I want to know is IF and if he did WHY did Obama go to bed during the attack on our embassy? And why did his minions all end up lying about this?

For the first time in my life I am afraid of our government.

I was suspicious to begin with but if she’s walking around with classified intel, that’s pretty incriminating. arrest her, water board her, get the real story out of her. this doesn’t absolve the administration for its culpability in the Benghazi fiasco either imo.

I think it’s really amazing just how closely the whole lives of these two sooo often keep coming back to connections with high levels of the US military.

When Natalie, the nuttier of the pair, decides to get hitched, who does she chose? The son of a very high executive of US defense companies —specifically Info Tech companies.

The other one can get an FBI agent to sent her racy photos, they’re constantly going to parties with big-time officers...

All together one has to admit that at least based from appearances it really fits the M.O. of....yeah, SPIES.

Why is someone writing a book given such priority. Who cares so much about a book that it superseded security. Should never have been allowed.

Worlds worst spy. No tradecraft at all. I doubt it very much.

This is what the admin holds over Petraeus.
She got the docs from someone. Guess who.

Planted evidence to increase the visibility of this story and marginalize Benghazigate.
