I asked for permission to start a thread to discuss the news of retired General Petraeus stepping down in the light of his affair with his biographer.

The moderators say that it is of national interest and we can discuss it as long as it does NOT become political.

It seemed strange to me when I first heard it because although immoral, it isn't illegal to have an affair.

Well every day now this strange story grows worse. I wonder what REALLY did happen and I am NOT a fan of conspiracy stuff but this seems pretty strange to me and particularly in the timing of disclosure.

I don't think this thread will last long, but what a MESS!!!
