Cheat Sheet -Broadwell’s ‘Adventure Junkie’ Husband

Today: The 'Adventure Junkie' Husband , Petraeus's Link to Rielle Hunter , Petraeus's Resignation Political?
Cheat Sheet: Afternoon

November 12, 2012
PERSON OF INTEREST

He isn't a war hero. He didn't even get to write about one. Meet Paula Broadwell's husband, the least public of all the people to be thrust forward after the very public termination of David Petraeus's career as America's chief spook—a radiologist and 'adventure junkie' who helped his wife promote her now-infamous book. Plus, awkward photos of when mistress meets wife.

LONG ODDS

Small world! Paula Broadwell lives just a few blocks away from Rielle Hunter, who famously had an affair with Sen. John Edwards. The Daily Beast's Diane Dimond on the tony North Carolina neighborhood caught in two national scandals.

CONSPIRACY THEORY

Why did Petraeus resign days after the election? Why did he resign at all, if the FBI concluded—after a months-long investigation—that they had no criminal case? As Jane Mayer asks in The New Yorker, "What is really going on here?" The timing of Petraeus's resignation and numerous holes in the investigation and scandal have some wondering whether politics was involved. The investigation began months ago over the Jill Kelley emails, and Petraeus was personally confronted about it two weeks ago, according to The New York Times. And what of the FBI "whistleblower" who told Republicans in Congress about the investigation in October? Seems no one can solve the Petraeus puzzle just yet.

WARNING SHOTS

It's been a while since the Yom Kippur war of '73. That's when Israel last took "direct hits" at Syria, as the nation has done for the last two days in retaliation for an errant Syrian mortar shell that crossed into the Golan Heights. Israel's army has shelled "mobile artillery" in retaliation for the violence spilling across borders. While Israel has said that it knows the Syria fire was inadvertent, officials say the retaliatory blasts are just "warning shots" to prevent further violence.

TICKLE ME ALLEGATIONS

First Petraeus, now Elmo. Sesame Street revealed in a statement that Kevin Clash, the voice behind Elmo, is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old. The show was told by a 23-year-old boy that he had an underage relationship with Clash years ago. Clash, 52, denied the allegations, saying that his relationship with the accuser was "between two consenting adults." Sesame Street says that it has conducted an investigation with all parties involved, and so far the accusations seem "unsubstantiated." Clash will take a leave of absence.

What Did Broadwell Know?

Pillow talk isn't safe when the CIA's involved. Paula Broadwell, the woman at the center of the Petraeus scandal, gave a speech last month that revealed otherwise unreported information about the Benghazi attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
