Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell identified as the other woman

As details emerge surrounding now ex-CIA Director David Petraeus' sudden resignation over an extramarital affair, Paula Broadwell, Petraeus' biographer and author of "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus," has been identified by Slate as the woman with whom he had the affair. Broadwell is also under investigation by the FBI for allegedly trying to gain unauthorized access to Petraeus' email, which would have allowed her to read classified information. (Petraeus is not under investigation.) The timing of the resignation and the citing of an affair as the reason has several powerful conservatives using Twitter to voice suspicion that the excuse is just a cover to fire Petraeus over the September attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Rupert Murdoch, for instance, tweeted that "there has to be more to this story." [Source]
