Fez Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The plot thickens with the General Petraeus resignation...http://usnews.nbcnew...t-officials-sayI mean maybe its a coincidence, but it sure seems like the affair was probably with the biographer. And even if didn't knowingly pass along anything to her, and I doubt that he did, the fact that he allowed himself to be in a situation where the potential for this kind of security leak to exist suggests that this was a "resign or your fired" situation.

It's happened just before the hearings are about to start. Petraeus was sent to the CIA to kill off his career. People are saying the fact he's had an affair is a ho-hum matter, and the idea the head secret keeper of the USA couldn't keep an affair secret is ludicrous.

Why would Petraeus let the administration tarnish him like that? He could speak out. And how would this top what happens next week? The House committee could still ask him to testify. And how is one man supposed to keep a secret from the FBI? He's in charge of the CIA, he isn't the CIA.And the CIA job was a big promotion for him, the idea that it was to dead-end his career is ludicrous.It just goes to show how desperate the right wing is forget about the election and talk about something else.

People are saying the fact he's had an affair is a ho-hum matter, and the idea the head secret keeper of the USA couldn't keep an affair secret is ludicrous.It's seeming more like that the lady who was writing his biography was his mistress and that she may have gotten access to classified material. Did we learn nothing from Battlestar Galactica?!?!?http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/09/paula-broadwell-david-petraeus-affair_n_2104427.htmlPaula Broadwell, a Harvard researcher who co-wrote a biography of David Petraeus, is the woman with whom the retired four-star general had an affair, prompting his abrupt resignation on Friday as director of the CIA, according to Slate's Fred Kaplan.Broadwell co-authored "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus," which was released in earlier this year. According to her website, she was embedded with the general in Afghanistan from July 2010 to July 2011 and was "afforded extensive access by General Petraeus, his mentors, his subordinates, and his longtime friends."MSNBC's Richard Engel reported on Friday evening that the FBI is conducting an ongoing investigation into Broadwell to see whether she had improper access to Petraeus' emails and may have seen classified information. Engel added that it doesn't appear that any charges are going to be filed, and that Petraeus himself is not being investigated.The parts I bolded are deliciously ironic. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marquis de Leech Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 In terms of secession, there are multiple authorities that have established there is no unilateral right of secession under customary international law. Texas (or anyone else) cannot simply give the fingers to the central government and set up as an independent state.However, the UN charter does recognise the right of self-determination. International law treats this as an internal matter for states, but if one was dealing with a situation where this cannot be resolved through internal autonomy, and where it was clear that most people wanted to secede, there would be negotiations between the central government and the seceding territory - essentially, in such a situation, it would be expected that secession could take place as part of a bilateral agreement.Of course, in Texas' case, we're not talking self-determination, we're talking a hissy fit over an election. So the UN charter wouldn't come into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marquis de Leech Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 And in case anyone brings up Kosovo: that's one of those embarrassing cases that international law likes to pretend never happened (Russia tried using Kosovo as a precedent during the Georgia/South Ossetia crisis - you had a lot of people suddenly claiming that Kosovo was sui generis).
