David Patraeus

U.S. General David Patraeus has resigned from his post as head of the CIA under a scandal, regarding an extramarital affair. The adulterous relationship took place with Patraeus' biographer, Paula Broadwell, who authored the book, “All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.” She is currently under investigation by the FBI, regarding claims she tried to access U.S. national secrets during the writing of the tome.

Patraeus stated he is resigning for personal reasons, “After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.” This affair has certainly wreaked havoc on his career and could not have been worth it.
