Ok, maybe I'm getting really tired and trying to find ghosts where there are none, but a short comment in this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021812982
started me thinking:
Petraeus - Iraq
Iraq - missing millions
Wolfe - Big whoop-te-do title in Iraq involving Iraqi Private Sector Development
Wolfe - Special Assistant to the Chief Operating Officer at the Export-Import Bank of the United States. He was appointed to the bank by President Bush in June 2002.
Petraeus - moves to CIA, Allen replaces him in Afghanistan
Allen, Petraeus - HAVE to know Grayson
(WHY did Allen and Petraeus feel it necessary to throw their support AGAINST Wolfe in custody battle?)
How does Jill Kelley's "Honorary Consul to Korea" status fit into all of this?
I'm too tired to make any sense of all of this - anyone feel like trying to connect the dots? Or tell me I'm full of shit, and why?

I usually don't get wrapped up in the 'scandal of the day' , but this one is intriguing.
