CIA Director David Petraeus is quitting, citing personal reasons, a government source says. An extra marital affair? He seemed like a most capable man for the CIA position. "After being married for more than 37 years I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair," Petraeus wrote in his letter. "Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as a leader of an organization such as ours." Petraeus said that the president accepted his resignation on Thursday."

<rightwingworld> He's Obama's scapegoat on Benghazi </rightwingworld>
Just two months ago the GOP was drooling over the prospect of Petraeus being on the ticket with Romney.
Quote:
The abrupt resignation comes days ahead of hearings before the Senate Select Intelligence Committee and House Select Intelligence Committee over the Obama administration’s handling of Benghazi.

Anyone, with a security clearance has to stay above reproach. If you compromise yourself through personal or financial actions, you become subject to blackmail or bribery. He was correct in admitting it and resigning before he became a security threat.
