6. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

I think that there is US case law that makes freedom of movement about the country a virtual right, but that does not include any right to having a driver's license. However, if a person has met the requirements laid out by state law for owning one, I don't think the government can arbitrarily withhold it. It does seem odd that the FBI would hold it, but perhaps she can claim it at any time.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

14. she can still drive

she'll just get a ticket for not having her license with her.

[onecent]

26. She probably cannot fly without it...? n/t

[amandabeech]

29. Without a driver's license, she can't get on a plane unless she has her passport.

I would expect that passport to be revoked as well.

Also, without her driver's license or passport, she can't get into Canada or Mexico.

I wonder if she was in her home when the FBI came in to get all her documents relating to Petreaus.

[lanlady]

38. her passport can't be revoked as such

But it can sure be seized to prevent her from fleeing the country.

[Botany]

2. what was her d.l. doing in rock creek park?

[rzemanfl]

3. So it could be found there when she vanished from

the face of the earth. That is pretty tin foily but it is what I think might have been happening before it was realized that the horse was so far out of the barn that wacking her would not solve anything.

[HangOnKids]

8. Very Interesting

If I am clear here, do you submit that she "lost" her license on purpose as a means of protecting her life? I buy that theory, if she thought she might be whacked she was leaving some bread crumbs. BTW Chandra Levy was killed in the same park.

[rzemanfl]

10. I hadn't really thought of that possibility. However, if that were the case

wouldn't something in a safe deposit box be a better idea? My thought was that whoever planned to whack her got ahold of the license, thinking Chandra Levy.

[aletier_v]

28. dont you need id to get to a safety deposit box?

thats what i remember

[sandyshoes17]

9. That was my first thought

She dropped it in case she didn't make it back from her jog

[amandabeech]

30. Either that, or she was trying to establish her presence in DC as of the time that it was found.

At any rate, it certainly is strange.

[monmouth3]

17. I also think the FBI is supremely pissed off at her and will make her life a living hell. At least

that is what I'm hoping..

[kalli007]

4. Found in the grass by a jogger.....

I *think* like a day or 2 before the story broke......cant remember specifics.

Weird.

[Gman]

5. It just gets stranger and stranger

[BeyondGeography]

7. OK, but who's got the Gap dress?

[2naSalit]

11. Oh Lordy

This is the latest tribute to Payton Place (am I dating myself here?)

And just for a good chuckle (aka... well aren't we special?):

[Coyotl]

12. I'll date myself

It was Peyton Place

[2naSalit]

20. Ooops

Thanks. Geeze, and I lived in NH when that was a popular story! Now that my caffeine is kicking in I think I can think better!

[Coyotl]

13. So, where is the news in all this?

Someone dropped something, see pages 3-7 for details

[2naSalit]

18. But wait, there's more...

I feel so silly about all this now but I still hold that it was way more than a naughty little sex scandal...

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/11/david-petraeus-scandal-explained

A well organized timeline by MotherJones... it's long and I'm looking for anything really new. Only thing I've found so far is that Jill's twin had an affair with fmr. FL gov. Crist.

[yardwork]

22. I find it doubtful that Jill's twin had an actual affair with Charlie Crist.

It might have been a pretend affair for show, but I sincerely doubt that it was consummated.

[2naSalit]

24. May well be...

I was still reading through it when I posted the link. It doesn't make sense but who knows? This whole thing is so convoluted. I think the most telling and worthy part of the article was where they said that it was a love triangle that turns out to have so many sides there may be no defining what shape it actually has!

[yardwork]

25. It's a confusing mess. Not surprising, since the head of the CIA is in the middle of it.

Who knows what is really going on. They'll never tell us.

[JimDandy]

15. Just the Drivers License? No wallet, credit cards, photos, or other stuff usually found in a wallet.

An drivers license just laying somewhere in the park, by itself. VERY strange. No police report by Broadwell of a missing wallet, license? Even STRANGER!

[leveymg]

21. Lost it jogging. She and her family have been staying w/ her brother in DC.

[JimDandy]

35. Read that article after I posted. Makes sense now.

I've gone jogging in the past with just my drivers license in a home-made pouch hanging from my neck, so it wouldn't get lost dropping out of a pocket. You know, for just in case...

[marions ghost]

19. Someone stole her purse

and then realized they didn't want her identity...

It seems strange, not sure I can buy the simple explanation that it fell out of her tracksuit jacket as she jogged in the park....

[Coyotl]

23. She took her phone from her pocket and

or was it keys, or whatever, it fell. -30-

[liberalmuse]

27. I just find this to be a weird coincidence.

Like rescue workers finding Terrorist passports at the 9/11 site. Really, what are the odds?

[amandabeech]

31. Yeah, that's what I keep thinking about.

[aletier_v]

33. come on, guys. this all revolves around the KING OF SPOOKS!

coincidence?..

i dont think so.

[TwilightGardener]

34. Yep. Just that unbelievable.

[Tx4obama]

32. The OP story sounds strange because yesterday I read an article that said ...

... it had already been sent back to her

[DollarBillHines]

37. All she needs is a passport...

to get out of the country.

[rainbow4321]

39. Hope for her sake she didn't say "no" if they had asked her if she had been

at Rock Creek Park area lately.

That would be an "oops..." for her!
