Petraeus Resigns, Apologizes for Affair
David Petraeus today resigned as director of the CIA after admitting an extra-marital affair.
The former general had been one of the most respected figures in the military and intelligence establishment, but has stepped down to deal with the 'personal and professional issues' surrounding his relationship with a woman who is not his wife.
He had been sworn in as head of the CIA in September 2011.
