In Petraeus sex scandal and others, a double standard
OK, I'm done. I've had my fun clicking through every last story, tweet and meme about Betraeusgate. I already know how this movie ends, eventually. Somehow, the men will be fine — time will pass, and they'll get invitations to join corporate boards...

'Stand your ground' task force just political theater
This is why Florida is the butt of the nation's jokes. We can't count our votes on time. The road to CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus' downfall veered straight off Interstate 4 and into the mansion of "Tampa Kardashian" Jill Kelley. We order...

Petraeus' Shakespearian storyline - Fond fools serve mad jealousy
In William Shakespeare's "Othello," an important general finds himself the victim of a little scheme, concocted by a disgruntled subordinate, to bring him down by making him jealous. It's a tawdry, less-than-credible bit of business involving a...

Affair wasn't Petraeus' only faulty judgment
David Petraeus betrayed his wife; that is between them. It does however show a lack of responsibility and judgment. The personal betrayal is compounded in the betrayal of his country by jollying in the CIA director's office with a woman, Angela Jolie,...Tags: Central Intelligence Agency

It isn't easy to be good
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says he was planning this even before the recent scandals in the top ranks of the Pentagon and CIA, but he's ordered the military to double down on ethics training for its senior officers. In a memo to Gen. Martin Dempsey,...

Even the best and brightest can be knuckleheads
It seemed at first like a welcome break from political overload. There's nothing like a juicy sex scandal to relieve election fatigue. But this one, it turns out, brims with suggestions of military misconduct and questions of national security that have...

Taint Of Petraeus Mess Likely To Spread
The Hartford CourantThe Oxford English Dictionary unveiled its word of the year last week, helpfully providing a succinct description of the scandal that has claimed Gen. David Petraeus' glittering career and appears to have only begun its cull. Omnishambles: "a situation...Tags: Police Investigations, Jill Kelley, Kevin Rennie, FBI, John Kerry

Petraeus yet another high-ranking military official mired in scandal
William PfaffPARIS -- "Duty, Honor, Country" is the West Point motto, but it seems to have lost what once was its compelling power over the men of the Long Gray Line, as they pursue the military careers that follow graduation. I am not speaking primarily about the...Tags: Jill Kelley, National Government, Saudi Arabia, Bashar Assad, Unrest, Conflicts and War

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)

I thought it was just the liberal media (The Sun included) that suppressed information that could possibly impact voter decision-making. However, it is patently obvious the Obama administration itself did that with its foot-dragging and inept...Tags: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Elections, Catonsville, Benghazi, U.S. Department of Agriculture

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: Police Investigations, Armed Conflicts, Afghanistan, John Allen, Unrest, Conflicts and War
