So here is a bizarre twist in the David Petraeus resignation saga.

Paula Broadwell, the biographer revealed as the woman having a secret affair with the now-former CIA director, gave a talk at the University of Denver on Oct. 26 in which she appeared to reveal sensitive, maybe even classified, information about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

The most interesting revelation is her claim that the CIA was holding several Libyan militia members prisoner, which may have prompted the attack. (Though she also sought to explain the Obama administration's initial view that the attack was linked to the YouTube video Innocence of Muslims, an anti-Islam polemic that sparked riots across the Muslim world.)

UPDATE: The CIA has denied holding prisoners at the annex, according to the DailyBeast's Eli Lake. The Washington Post's Greg Miller adds in a tweet, "CIA adamant that Broadwell claims about agency holding prisoners at Benghazi are not true."

Broadwell also said flatly that forces at the CIA annex had requested backup from a special Delta Force group she called the CINC's in extremis force. It was not clear whether she was basing her comments on an Oct. 26 Fox News report by Jennifer Griffin, or whether her information came from elsewhere. (Griffin refers to it as "Commanders [sic] in Extremis Force," but does not mention Delta Force or any Libyan prisoners.)

Video of the talk at the link.

Also remember that classified information was found on her computer, the source of which has not been identified.

Article also mentions that her life long goal was to be a national security advisor. Condi must have been a role model. (snark intended).

1. Ok, I could be way off on this but I'm thinking that it all revolves around this:

"Broadwell also said flatly that forces at the CIA annex had requested backup from a special Delta Force group she called the CINC's in extremis force. It was not clear whether she was basing her comments on an Oct. 26 Fox News report by Jennifer Griffin, or whether her information came from elsewhere."

Did Petraeus via Broadwell feed false information and share classified docs regarding the denial of the request for CIA assistance to Romney (Dan Senor) who then shared it with FOX TV? Was Petraeus working to unseat Obama and sharing classified docs via his consort to Senor? Did FBI intentionally leak information to Eric Cantor to trip up Cantor in the scandal? Did Diane Fenistein really not know about the investigation into Patraeus--or is she a really good actor? Did the Neocons get played big time and lose?

2. This Broadwell woman seems like a slimy republican.

This whole thing stinks of a republican plan that went as well as their election campaign. All that money, time, and plotting and still they are big LOSERS. Even their boy Petraeus is out the door. What a gang of idiots.

Only this time the plant did not give a blowjob to the President.
