(13,756 posts)47. I agree with your statement...
and the way the media is behaving, this story is quickly turning into tabloid fodder while the underlying Benghazi theme takes a back seat. The truth could be stunningly simple: Paula Broadwell disclosed something the CIA didn't want disclosed and that's what prompted action against Petraeus and led to his ultimate resignation. All the complication involving details of the affair, and the FBI agent emailing naked pics of himself,etc.....classic subterfuge.

Well, the original story was NOT that the consulate or annex was being used as a prison.

She said it because its true? If so, it means a US consulate is a secret detention facility
