2. human nature

creates moments that can cloud reasonable behavior. Those moments and actions can ruin a persons life and personally I think for no reason. If it is just an affair it should be between he, his wife and the third party. But because americans have such an outdated view of relationships this man is to be pilloried and drummed out of government. Too bad.

5. DH and I had a lonnngg conversation about this...

as he is retired military this is no small matter. I don't get how a public person of this stature can risk his own job and personal reputation for some tail. really. Not to mention, his family... holy cow!! The wife, the mother of his children and grandchildren... "oh, grandpa had to resign as director of cia because he couldn't keep his pants zipped!!!" They must be so humiliated. what an asshole.
