CIA director David Petraeus has resigned from his post, after admitting he had an extra-marital affair.
In a statement, Mr Petraeus described his behaviour as ‘unacceptable’ for the leader of the nation’s main intelligence agency.
Unnamed officials said Mr Petraeus conducted the affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
The words what were you thinking spring to mind, as director of the CIA working closely with the White House and the FBI he probably couldn’t have so much as taken a s**t without 100 people knowing about it, so how did he expect to conceal an affair.
Or maybe he’s a big supporter of the Republican Party and he couldn’t stand the idea of working with Obama for four years, and knowing he couldn’t just resign he had to concoct something to get out.
Either way it looks like a unsavoury end to an otherwise highly successful and distinguished career.
