This is tuff! I figure it would have to be something someone in a nursing home would do and something that can't be, or is neglected to be, done for them. A real puzzle.

There is much more to this "story" still to come. General John Allen, Jill Kelly(and twin sister) and Kelly's wanna' be "diplomatic immunity"? Ah, the webs we weave. What were the generals thinking - on oh so many levels?! Paula/Petraeus - just one little part...........

[shcisamax]

I understand that Jill and immediate family came from Lebanon in the 70's? Although the Kelley's were considered Tampa "socialites" giving parties for politicians and generals, their house has been in foreclosure since 2010. These sort of facts, (if indeed they are facts) would give great concern.

From USA Today..not the most reliable but...

The Kelleys have had financial troubles for years.

In 2010, Regions bank brought a $1.8 million foreclosure suit and a $453,000 suit, while Bank of America sued for $25,000 in unpaid credit card charges, The Telegraph reports.

In 2011, Central Bank sued the Kelleys and Kelley Land Holdings over a three-story office building in downtown Tampa they owned, according to The Tampa Bay Times. The couple owed the bank nearly $2.2 million, including attorney fees, and a judge ordered the building sold.

Other suits include a debt case from Chase bank and a credit card case from FIA Card Services, according to reports.

Hillsborough County Court records show many of the lawsuits remain open and active.​

Despite money problems, Jill Kelley threw lavish parties including one where she was pictured in 2010 at her $1.2 million mansion with Petraeus.

It is interesting that you bring this up. When we told our doctor that we were moving to TV area the very first thing out of her mouth was.."Dear God! If you're going down there be sure to wear a body condom! Do you know that TV area has the highest number of new STD & HIV cases in the country?" No..we didn't know that. At work my wife ran a number of CDC reports that brought this statement to life. So apparently people in Florida's Friendliest Hometown are far more friendly than we thought. EEWWW!

I guess this also explains why a number of people on this board are willing to give the general a pass on his playtime.

Gracie originally posted that adultery is not illegal. However, it is illegal in the following states: Mass, RI, NC, SC, FL, Kansas, NY, Virginia, Utah, Tenn, Missouri, Michigan, IL, GA, Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Minn, Arizona, Mississippi, and The District of Columbia. It is rarely prosecuted, but the laws are still active.

From everything I have read so far, "Petraeus didn't betray us".

His family. That's another story.

Jill Kelley's husband is a Doctor, they opened a questionable "charity" (in 2005?) disolved it in 2007(?).

What a bunch of BUNKIES.(IMO)

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.

So far, I agree. Just do not see it in General Petraeus to betray his country. His wife and family, yes.

[NotGolfer]

We're to believe "everything" we read? Particularily the internet! Just to put another spin on this whole thread.

I do wish we had the freedom to interject some political statements...w/o getting nasty.

It can't be that stupid because after I posted my comment, which was just my observation, I heard it being discussed seriously on a national talk show. And some of the guests discussing this were women who agreed that she was somewhat lacking in appearance.
