Petraeus mistress may have revealed classified info on Libya in Oct. speech

Paula Broadwell, the biographer and former girlfriend to Gen. David Petraeus, made comments during a speech at the University of Denver in October that may have been a breech of classified information. Broadwell claimed that Libyan militia members were held prisoner in the CIA annex during the time of the Libyan embassy attacks.

“I don’t know if a lot of you have heard this, but the CIA annex had actually had taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner. And they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try to get these prisoners back,” said Broadwell.

The CIA responded Sunday saying that the information is not accurate.

Broadwell made a disclaimer to the October 26 remarks by saying that the information had not yet been vetted. Fox News Channel reported the news on the same day.

A well-placed Washington source confirms to Fox News that there were Libyan militiamen being held at the CIA annex in Benghazi and that their presence was being looked at as a possible motive for the staged attack on the consulate and annex that night.

According to multiple intelligence sources who have served in Benghazi, there were more than just Libyan militia members who were held and interrogated by CIA contractors at the CIA annex in the days prior to the attack. Other prisoners from additional countries in Africa and the Middle East were brought to this location.

In a recent Fox News article, it was also reported that congressional leaders admit privately they think Petraeus was lying when he testified in a closed session to Congress that the attack was mostly a spontaneous uprising due to an anti-Islam video. Some members have even considered charging Petraeus with perjury. It is uncertain whether he will explain his position by giving testimony this week or if the acting CIA director, Mike Morrell will testify in his place, according to the report.

    There are some women’s rights I want no part of. I do not want the right to be stupid. I will leave this right to Sandra Fluke and this other young “lady”.

  2. this show,s that they all knew it was not any video that was on you tube that video only had 17 hits the month before they lied and cover up the truth for all of though day even at the UN that is worse than what RICHARD NIXON done so why is OBAMA still getting a pass THIS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST COVER UP BY THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. AND THEY JUST KEEP LYING EVERYONE FROM OBAMA DOWN SHOULD DO WHAT RICHARD NIXON DID QUIT RIGHT NOW DAMN IT

  3. The only thing which frightens me more than Obama as president, is Joe Biden as president. We have worked ourselves into a corner and now have no chance at leadership which is desperately needed. This cover is worse than Watergate. No one was killed in Watergate and 4 Americans lost their lives as a result of inattention and a cover up. We need to get to the bottom of this mess and impeach Obama and prosecute everyone involved. I am surprised that the families of these 4 Americans are not screaming for the heads of the people involved. I would be!

  4. This is just sensationalized headlines. She is only parroting what Fox reported. Her comment, “I don’t know if many heard this…” is simply referring to having heard from Fox. While he should have kept it in his pants and she should have kept her legs together, I see no evidence (yet) of a crime – just stupidity.

    This is quite a self important young lady. She does sound like she is very supportive of the ideals of the current administration which seems contrary to the kind of man that she had the assignations with. Could this all have been contrived for some nefarious reasons to cover who knows what. There is no doubt in my mind that Petraeus’ affair with her was known long ago and did not just come to the attention of Obama and others in the recent past. There is always a method to the actions of such people as are in this administration and it is not for the good of the country. Why was Petraeus chosen for the CIA and a known leftist academic placed to head the Department of Defense? All perplexing questions that probably will never be answered..

  6. So will the Democrats now put their hands over their ears and their hands over their mouths and their hands over their eyes. I sure hope Miss Broadwell looks where she is going and checks over her shoulder frquently.
