The timing of the Petraeus resignation does raise questions about the relationship between the FBI Director, the Chair of the Security Council, and the President.

I suppose if there was no evidence of a national security breach, then the whole affair could be considered more of a personal embarrassment to be settled when it was convenient to settle it, such as after the General Election. But Petraeus was the Director of the CIA and I certainly think the FBI should have alerted the White House of its investigations some time sooner, given that it started its investigation in the summer.

Oh, well, all the sordid and mundane details will be laid out at length soon. And I'm sure the CIA is not missing a step in its business of policing the world and exterminating terrorists, alleged or otherwise.
