Hope article below turns out to be true.Ā  If President Clinton gets a passĀ on Affair Lewinsky, conducted in Oval Office, then GEN Petraeus certainly deserves a restart after Affair Broadwell.Ā  While no basis for a major decoration, I see that mistake as principally a matter between GEN Petraeus and his family and not necessarily something justifying LTG Clapper's call for his resignation as Director of the CIA.Ā  Once publicly acknowledged, not sure matter generated vulnerability to hostile exploitation, which is principal national security concern with sexual misbehavior.)

In contrast to this ā€˜no changes proposedā€™ plan, other member states are likely to bring different perspectives and ideas to feed into discussions at the 11-day December event, which will be moderated by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a specialized United Nations (UN) agency.
