As usual H20 your analysis is more intelligent, thorough, and thought provoking than any single article I've read about this whole mess.
I did read somewhere that Ms. Broadwell's father said that there is way more to this than is being reported. That his daughter got caught up in some sort of deeper political thing.
I don't know what to think, really. As you say the timing of this story breaking was interesting to say the least. What would have happened if Obama had not been elected?
What indeed? What was Petraeus doing that the Republicans didn't like?
I hope to God that we don't find it's another cover-up a la Plame. But think about it. Had we been following Plame from the beginning only through the eyes of the mainstream media and not thinking for ourselves at all, what conclusions would we have drawn? We might have believed that Valerie Plame suggested her husband for some mission, and that he was blowing smoke when he said he didn't find uranium yellowcake in Africa . . . . We might have believed that the Wilsons were full of crap and they were just trying to smear Bush.
Nothing ever really came of that Plame "thing.". Karl Rove lied, Scooter Libby lied, Scooter got a slap on the wrist and then even that little slap was commuted by *.
Now the good guys are in charge. As the reasons behind the scandal unfold, what will we learn? If we learn that something similar to Plamegate has been perpetrated, at least we know that justice will be served. Or it will if the whole thing comes to trial while Obama is still in office.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Thanks for the informative article H20. I'm glad I can count on you to sift through the BS. I am looking forward to reading your developing point of view as this develops.
