The director of the CIA David Patraeus resigned from his position on Friday. Before becoming the director of the CIA, he was a four star general in the U. S. Army and served for 37 years. Patraeus cites an extramarital affair as the reason for his resignation. He offered his resignation to President Obama in a meeting on Thursday, and Obama accepted on Friday.
What I was wondering, is how a civil issue like an extramarital affair resulted in his resignation. The problem is that his behavior opened him up for black mail, which is a major security risk to the country. As the director of the CIA, he had access to tons of classified and sensitive information. The woman he had an affair with is currently being investigated by the FBI because she may have accessed classified information.
