| General David Petraeus |
(CNN) -- Admitting to an
extramarital affair, David Petraeus stepped down as director of the CIA
on Friday in a surprise move that shocked the intelligence community
just days after President Barack Obama was re-elected.
According to a U.S.
official, the FBI had a tip that Petraeus was involved with his
biographer, Paula Broadwell, and investigated the alleged affair to
determine whether it posed a security risk. The FBI was not
investigating Petraeus for wrongdoing. The concern was that he could
potentially be blackmailed or put "in a vulnerable spot," the official
said.
Before his nomination as
CIA director, Petraeus was considered the nation's most well-known and
popular military leader since Colin Powell.
"But his reputation was
potentially tarnished by the controversy over the terror attack on the
U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Christopher
Stevens and three other Americans in September."
Petraeus was expected to
testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee next week on the
Benghazi attack.

*1956 Alfred Hitchcock Film --A family vacationing in Morocco accidentally stumble on to an
assassination plot and the conspirators are determined to prevent them
from interfering.
There was wide speculation in the media following the Benghazi attack, that Ambassador Christopher Stevens may have been targeted for assassination. Perhaps those same media speculators might want to connect the dots and uncover who, or what forces would want to prevent (Petraeus) from interfering with his testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee.
