39. No--apparently she had no inside information. She was simply touting info she got from a fake story
Mon Nov 12, 2012, 09:25 PM
Nov 2012

offered by FOX News "reporter" Jennifer Griffin. Then the FOX News spokesmodel--err, "reporter"--used Broadwell's comment in turn as evidence to bolster her own story, which was apparently Broadwell's original source. By the time Broadwell was makign these remarks, her connection to Petraus had been broken, so he was not her source for this nonsense.

Shades of Dick Cheney quoting Judith Miller's NYT story (which he originally fed her) as "evidence" for his WMD claims.

These two foolish women simply created a feedback loop of misinformation.
