Why?

Petreaus has Resigned as Director of the CIA, retained a lawyer and is refusing to go before a congressional committee. Hilary Clinton has or will be Resigning from Head of State, and has also Retained a Lawyer.
What is about to come out?

The General had an affair. Against the rules for a CIA Director.
Hillary needs to start campaigning for President in 2016.

Why did both retain lawyers?

His record

Ok.....What's he done so impressive.......

I heard the FBI is involved Which really makes things more interesting. I think his GF is writing a book on intelligence and while investigating her they turned up the affair. At least according to one story I saw.

He's the one that took over in Iraq and did the surge. He was a honcho during the Bosnia thing too.

Still not stellar IMHO......

Hes got a lot of medals and ribbons. They don't hand those out for taking up space

General Schwarzkopf presented me with a solid silver Challenge Coin for developing a "useful" database for him while I was in Saudi. I treasure it. I'm sure the people serving under General Petreaus would feel similar.
