A threat to troops? You're joking, yes?
Suppressed information before an election? I guess Eric Cantor is a tool of Axelrod...cause he was the pol who got the scoop prior to the vote.
And the issue of security being compromised by a non-marital horizontal boogie....that is more the product of our puritan need for fidelity when - in fact - guys screw around...girls might not like it...but some clearly don't have that much of an issue with it as the girls involved were both married. People are people. You might not approve of their behavior...it might violate your personal morality...but, we need to stop holding our leaders up to a standard that a vast number of our population don't keep for themselves.
Sometimes our need for perfection from our leaders makes us far more vulnerable aside from denying us some of our best and brightest.
BTW - on a personal note...I think the CIA director is a smart/talented guy...but, his strategy in Afghanistan was a mess and a failure. You want to remove him for that...I'm all in...but, for an affair...that's just wacky. It's time we kept our collective noses out of others' bedrooms.
