backseatdriver Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) Let me guess, a dramatization of a general and his biographer. SNL already did that, to include the 3-way. Edited to remove re-posting of stupid video. Out Seriously? That's the video you post? Fail. Edited November 19, 2012 by backseatdriver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgruntledemployee Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Seriously? That's the video you post? Fail. My dearest Sir. My posting of thy "intellectually deficient" internet video recording was to figuratively point out that many in the entertainment establishment are practicing their artistic talents and taking full advantance of the torrid affair. In other words, if you don't like it, piss off. Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest one Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Sen. John Kerry, chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, upon being told Saturday about Clinton’s illness and injury “insisted” she not appear at the hearing, said Jodi Seth, spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Democrat. Well, if John Kerry insisted, how could she testify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Davies Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) This is what I meant when I said I have never been a Petraeus fan... Can you explain your position on this, viz-a-viz military commanders being hamstrung by politicians? In effect, Petraeus revised the standard of performance expected of senior U.S. field commanders. Getting an “A” on their report card no longer required winning. Now, mere alleviation sufficed. Edited December 17, 2012 by Steve Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17D_guy Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Latest info. The Army has revoked the promotion of Paula Broadwell, the one-time mistress of CIA Director David Petraeus, according to a Defense Department official. Does it even really matter? She's in the reserves. http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/20/first-on-cnn-paula-broadwell-military-promotion-revoked/?hpt=hp_t2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afnav Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 She didn't deserve the promotion because she took classified home and got caught. I don't care who she fucks, but dammit, don't leave work with 'work'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest one Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I think that it is a hard to judge her from the outside looking in when we do not understand what type of documents she had in her office. Was it information that she was writing about that the FBI considers classified or are there actual documents that were snuck out that are classified. In my opinion, there is a difference. When an author/ex government employee writes a book that may have classified information in it at home but eventually gets in reviewed properly before getting it published, they do not get arrested when the government decides to redact 20 pages of it for being classified. The government should not allow intelligence officers to be authors/news contributors because their knowledge on certain subjects can easily get into gray areas. News anchors talk about classified information all the time, the problem is when someone like Broadwell talks about the same thing, the military might as well be saying it. For example, for a long time the government didn’t claim they used “UAVs” in certain countries even though it was common knowledge and reported on CNN whenever it happened. If someone like Broadwell wrote an article on that subject would it be considered classified even if she used non-classified sources for her article? The main thing that makes me wonder about the situation is, how in the hell did she get the classified documents on her computer in the first place? If she wasn’t the author, did she have a thumb drive or what? The government has not given any details about it so you have to wonder what the whole story is.
