Palace revolution

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

11/14/12

The political class is aghast at the spectacle of one after another of their holy icons falling: first it was David Petraeus, outed by a lone FBI agent in Tampa who took the discovery of his affair with Paula Broadwell to the House Republican leadership and effectively dynamited the CIA chieftain s career. Now it s Gen. John Allen, commander of US forces in Afghanistan: the discovery of his 'thousands of pages of emails' to Jill Kelley, a 37-year-old looker whose complaints of email 'harassment' garnered the full attention of the FBI and led to the downfall of Petraeus, has him in the dock. Who s next?
