SA Fred's service up to this latest event illustrates that he is an asset to the agency. Kelly picked the right agent to contact about her concern. The pic sent to a reporter and Kelly is a tell of his grounded perspective to admirers. It understates his appearance as that of any dummy. This Patreus and Allen event highlights how leaders must manage admirers with obsessive tendencies. I look forward to both agencies having special training and oversight to effectively protect themselves from the consequences of going too far. Until now, the issue of volunteer advocate's access to leaders was probably viewed as a low probability security risk. When Broadwell's scope changed from a thesis paper to a biography, there should've been an oversight position monitoring the relationship to break it up before it led to an affair. Having an intermediary liason for all correspondences between volunteer admirers and an agency leader may be a good idea too. They may be able to tweak existing policy without creating another burdensome layer of paperwork.
well written post but disagree. what you are proposing should happen as a result of the scandal should have been in place long ago. it's just common sense when it comes to national security. assuming anyone in national security has common sense.
No wonder Fred hates a man that can actually get a decent looking woman! Bald and shirtless for certain but muscular and buff? LMAO! The bullet ridden dummies look more human than Fred. Seriously, who wrote this article? A blind gay guy?

Note that there were no criminal threats in the emails, nothing to cause escalation at all. The fact that someone knows two four star generals doesn't make them a criminal. This was pushed upstairs simply because the woman complaining was a friend of the agent. How do you make the jump from a harrassment complaint that doesn't hold water to the reading of twenty thousand pages of emails between the CIA director and his girlfriend? And the White House still claims they knew nothing? Bunch of liars timing the man's departure after the election. If they knew about it for six months and he wasn't breaking any laws, exactly why did Obama want him gone, along with the admiral commanding the carrier task force off Libya, the General commanding AFRICOM, AND the new supreme allied commander of NATO, all since Benghazi?
Except YOUR timing is off. In every case, every person involved can be subpoenaed to testify in any Congressional, military, or judicial hearing, regardless of whether or not they still hold the position they were in when Benghazi or this stupid cat fight between Kelley and Broadwell happened. None of these people have immunity ... especially not Kelley with her pseudo-honorary consul claim. Regardless of your political leanings, the Patreus "scandal" is just a sad commentary on how a normally sane man can make some really bad decisions when it comes to good-looking women who make themselves available. Actually, it's pathetic.
conspiracy here, there, everywhere. but where is the proof? aliens from space here, there, everywhere but where is the proof? don't see nor agree with your conspiracy theories.
