Director of CIA Resigns Over Extramarital Affair

General David Patraeus

(CNN) –

David Petraeus has resigned as director of the CIA.

In a statement issued Friday, he said: ” After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation.”

    How convenient is this since he was expected to testify next week about the 4 dead Americans in Lybia?
