Jill Kelley Loses Access to Military Base
They're running out of generals
Jill Kelley, the socialite whose complaint to the FBI began the unraveling of the David Petraeus affair, was known for her parties for members of the military in Tampa.
But unless you held the rank of general or admiral, you weren't likely on the guest list, according to one retired senior officer who didn't want his name published.
"A colonel is about as low as she'd go," said the officer, who served at the U.S. military's Central Command (CENTCOM) in Tampa and knows the players in the Patraeus scandal. "People like that only want senior people around."

Is it me, or is everyone else also getting the impression that this "scandal" is simply a collection of resentful or envious military/security/law enforcement personnel using unattributed quotations as a way of getting back at people they dislike?
Are we back to the Hoover days with the FBI hoovering up emails without
a court order and leaking the investigation in a partisan way?
There is a new video that I saw that deals with this issue as a
parody. Its funny but scary. The video suggest we all hide our internet
traces using a VPN, but how did we get into this postion as a country? Since the
Patriot Act have we given up so many freedoms that our only recourse is to hide
under a technology rock? That this in fact happened to our CIA Director is stunning.
Shouldnt the FBI be vilified in this? But somehow they are not and it has become a
personal tragedy rather than a governance tragedy. The media has barely covered
the FBI side of the scandal.
