This article is absolutely ridiculous.

A woman who knows several prominent generals and the director of the CIA personally (it's troubling that she does, but those are the facts) gets anonymous threatening emails which involve the director of the CIA.

She informs a friend who is an FBI agent, who then escalates the inquiry.

This makes complete sense - this clearly touches on national security. What if the agent ignored the emails and something happened to the CIA Director?

This is not "snooping into someone's private emails."

This article is beyond stupid.

I did some attorney work reviewing e-mails for discovery in several large cases. Bottom line ... if you put something in writing on company e-mail, some lawyer somewhere is going to read it.

I’ve seen it all. Emails between a guy and his mistress. E-mails between two closeted gay dudes. Arguments between spouses. Drama between coworkers. Mangled limbs from industrial accidents. Porn. E-mails to an executive at a major company from his wife ... that attached extremely personal and close-up images of every last inch of her.

Don’t e-mail it if you’re not prepared to have somebody read it. Even if it never becomes public ... if your company ever get sued and e-mails are a part of discovery, a lawyer will have to review them just to make sure they’re not relevant.

You don’t want some lawyer somewhere getting paid $40 an hour to review naked pictures of your wife.

The FBI story that they investigated only after Broadwell sent harassing emails to Kelley smells like a coverup. I think the REAL fact is that the Holder Dept of inJustice was monitoring Petraeus, digging for dirt and came upon the juicy tidbits of the affair. 0bama and Holder probably have a lot of people under their thumbs in a similar manner. Think about those that suddenly switched steadfast positions and backed something the kenyan wanted, or think of how the RINO population seems to have increased. Being blackmailed will do that to you.

The other day Obama praised everyone EXCEPT the FBI... I don’t think I want to stand with Obama and the democrats. We don’t know the truth here - and we need to take the time to find out who’s good and who’s dirty.

The article is wrong about the FBI checking into these emails. I've seen enough from news media accounts to believe the FBI had every reason in the world to be concerned about an anonymous person who appeared to have access to nonpublic information about the schedules of general officers and the director of the CIA.

FWIW, it also appears from media accounts that the FBI agent who Mrs. Kelley contacted was well-known as a political conservative, and he contacted a Republican congressman out of concern this was being covered up. It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if the FBI agent is a Freeper or is reading this thread. (And no, I have zero inside info and never heard of the FBI agent before, so if he's reading, don't think I'm doing anything more that making a good guess about the influence of Free Republic in conservative circles. I've seen firsthand that lots of conservatives, both nationally known figures and well-placed government or GOP officials, are Freepers or regular lurkers here.)

Where the article is right is calling attention to the incredible idiocy of people who write things expecting privacy when they have no reasonable expectation that what they write will stay private. The real issue here is the level of surveillance which people themselves are making possible. There was a day when private investigators were making lots of money to hunt down things that people today put on Facebook.

A secondary issue is that for the mistress of the director of the CIA not to know that email is not a secure medium of communication, and not to take some of the most basic security precautions, indicates many things about her own level of competence. I would hope that most Army Reserve LTCs with intelligence training would know more about how to cover their tracks than this woman did.

However, the facts are that even if she had worked harder to cover her tracks, there are ways she could have been tracked down. The basic rule still applies — if you don't want to have somebody read it, don't write it down.

Of course, not saying or doing something you want to hide is the best solution of all.
