Petraeus right to step down
In response to Susan Reimer's column ("Did Petraeus have to step down?" Nov. 13), I think Ms. Reimer is missing the bigger point when she writes "Men such as he are going to have to be able to survive these intensely private falls from grace or we are...Tags: Easton (Easton, Pennsylvania)

Obama's pattern of misinformation
I thought it was just the liberal media (The Sun included) that suppressed information that could possibly impact voter decision-making.

Hubris led to the downfall of Petraeus, Allen
It's amazing that the men who ran the CIA and the war in Afghanistan had so much time on their hands ("Pieces of a puzzle," Nov. 14). The indiscretions of former CIA Director David Petraeus and Gen. John Allen are an embarrassment. I hate to think what...Tags: Armed Conflicts, Tampa, John Allen, Central Intelligence Agency, Afghanistan

The public's need to know - or not

Bush, etc.) wins re-election, but then his presidency implodes over the next four years -- mired in scandals or disasters such as Watergate,...Tags: U.S. Senate, Barack Obama, Monica Lewinsky, Hurricane Sandy (2012), Victor Davis Hanson

Honor and rape
Robert KoehlerHere's one take on U.S. militarism and the culture of domination: "Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and...Tags: Sex Crimes, U.S. Department of Defense, Paula Broadwell, John Allen, Rape

Sex and the city (of Washington)

For all we've learned, Petraeus story still doesn't add up

What do you call a male mistress?
If Paula Broadwell is David H. Petraeus' mistress, what is he to her? Biography subject, sure. Boyfriend, maybe. But what's the male equivalent of "mistress"? The growing cast of extremely prolific characters (30,000 pages of email!) in the Petraeus...
