Thread: Jill Kelley, social liaison to MacDill Air Force Base, is mystery woman Paula Broadwe

One feels sorry for both General Petraeus’ wife and for radiologist Dr. Broadwell, the deceived spouses.

Why not call the lady in the affair by her name before she married: Paula Krantz

Why does the Benghazi affair remind me of President Lyndon Johnson’s calling back the flights of fighter planes on their way to rescue the USS Liberty from Israeli attack? Could it be because Johnson’s Zionist-sympathizer mistress spent the night with him at just that critical period?

Paula Broadwell: Top 10 Facts You Need to Know

LATEST UPDATE, NOV. 12: MEET THE OTHER, OTHER WOMAN — WHO GOT PAULA'S EMAILS TO STAY AWAY FROM 'HER MAN' ... SPARKING THE FBI PROBE



People are talking about Paula Kranz Broadwell, the younger other woman who brought down Gen. David Petraeus.

Broadwell, Petraeus' biographer, became involved with the general years ago while he was still in charge of the troops in Afghanistan, and reportedly the couple cut off their affair after he was named CIA director in 2011.

Until now, Broadwell was a highly respected writer and speaker, with the academic credentials to back up her reputation. She's easy on the eyes, but the general may have been as enamored with her brain as he was with her body.
So what's behind Paula Broadwell?

1. Other Than Where Petraeus is Concerned, She's Brilliant



Broadwell is a research associate at Harvard's Center for Public Leadership and a doctoral candidate in the Department of War Studies, King's College, London, according to the Penguin Speakers Bureau, which schedules her appearances. She is a 1995 graduate of the West Point Military Academy with degrees in Political Geography and Systems Engineering, and she has earned a master's degree with honors from the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies and an MPA degree from Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.

2. She Could Probably Kick Your Ass



Broadwell is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves, having graduated in 1995 from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. While there, she graduated with academic and leadership honors, but most importantly for this point, she graduated at the top of her class for physical prowess. And she hasn't slacked much during the years since. She also reportedly enjoys running, skiing, cycling, triathlon, surfing, kayaking, weight lifting and kickboxing.

Oh, and she's also good at shooting things.

3. Name a Country, She's Probably Been There



Broadwell has lived worked in or traveled in more than 60 countries during her 15 years of military service, including serving with the U.S. Intelligence community, U.S. Special Operations Command and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces.

4. The Petraeus Book Isn't Her Only Work

While much has been said about the book "All In" being like a "valentine" to the disgraced CIA leader, it's not like Broadwell had an affair with the guy and wrote nice things about him without having a set of highly impressive credentials first. She has written for the Kings of War and Foreign Policy’s Best Defense blogs, and she has published op-eds in The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, and The Boston Globe. She's written chapters in books on counterinsurgency, transformational leadership, and women in defense, and has contributed to national TV networks, BBC radio and National Public Radio on similar topics.


5. She Gave Up Her Skydiving Trip Today to a Disabled Vet



Army Corporal David Bixler never got to jump out of a plane when he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division in Afghanistan, but instead lost both legs in an explosion in 2010. Thanks to Broadwell, he's got his chance. She was supposed to have gone up for her birthday — ironically, it was today, Nov. 9, while all the big news was coming out — but she donated her jump to Bixler, who jumped on Nov. 2.

Oh, and while the rest of the world was finding out all the dirt on her? She was in Charlotte, meeting Bixler and saying she and her husband would help him find a job when he’s ready.

“He’s so amazingly positive, it just makes you cry,” she said.


6. She Put her Dissertation on Hold for Petraeus



Broadwell traveled to Afghanistan to travel with Petraeus and "I got a great perspective of the war through his eyes. That is what I wanted, was the war through the commander's eyes."

But did she get too close? Apparently. She went on runs with him, followed him to battlefield visits and watched how he handled the burden of command.
Among other things.

7. She Felt Safe in Afghanistan

She says her attire made her stand out, not her gender or role as a writer:

I never felt threatened as a Westerner, nor did I feel that out of place as a female journalist. As you know, many female journalists have covered Afghanistan over the years, and a significant number of women serve in the military ... so I wasn't that much of an anomaly. In the field, however, I was probably more of a curiosity for the children, who rarely saw other women, much less a Western woman, and much less a woman in jeans and Kevlar.

8. She Wanted to Bring Attention to Wounded Warriors

My intention with this tour is to bring attention to ‘Wounded Warriors.' Over half a million soldiers have debilitation post-traumatic stress disorder, and as a society we need to draw attention to that and welcome them back.

9. Her Husband is a Prominent Doctor



Her husband, Dr. Scott Broadwell, is a prominent doctor in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area. The couple have two small children.



10. She's a Lot Younger than Petraeus and his Wife, Holly



Broadwell just turned 40 years old today, but Petraeus is 60 and his wife is of similar age. They've been married for 37 years, or if you want to do the math, for about as long as Broadwell has been alive. Holly's father was the superintendent at West Point when Petraeus graduated.

The father of David Petraeus' mistress Paula Broadwell defended his daughter today as an 'exceptional person', saying he supports her 100 per cent after details of her sordid affair with the decorated general were made public.

General Petraeus's relationship with Broadwell, his biographer, was revealed on Friday after an FBI investigation which suspected corruption between the pair.

Broadwell's father Paul Kranz, a retired high school basketball coach, suggested that the explosive revelations that led to Petraeus resigning as CIA director, have been used to cover up a bigger scandal.

Mr Kranz told MailOnline today that the shock of the past few days is 'just the beginning of a process'.
He spoke this morning on the snow-covered drive of his modest bungalow in Bismarck, North Dakota, where he lives with wife Nadene. He said: 'I've been advised by attorneys not to talk right now. This is private property.

'I hope you understand this is the beginning of a process. I can't say more than that. I couldn't if I wanted to.'

On Sunday, Mr Kranz elaborated further on the scandal which has propelled his 40-year-old daughter into the national media glare. He told the Daily News: 'This is about something else entirely, and the truth will come out.'

Other members of Broadwell's family seemed similarly shaken, revealing that they only learned of the alleged affair as they watched reports of Petraeus's dramatic resignation last week.

'They didn’t find out about the affair until they saw it on the news Friday night,' the grandmother of Broadwell's husband, Scott, added.

'Everyone's reaction was shock. We were all shell-shocked.'

Petraeus quit his post as CIA director while offering an apology over the affair. He issued a statement acknowledging the affair after President Obama accepted his resignation, which was announced by the CIA soon after.

‘After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair,' he said in the statement.

'Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the president graciously accepted my resignation.’
David Petraeus' wife is so angry at his affair with his biographer that 'furious would be an understatement', a former spokesman for the ex-CIA boss has revealed.

Speaking to ABC News, Col Steven Boylan said Holly Petraeus, who has been married to the former general for 38 years, is 'not exactly pleased right now'.

Her husband's affair was discovered when Mrs Broadwell, 40, sent a spate of threatening emails to 37-year-old Jill Kelley, who works for the State Department, warning her to 'stay away' from Petraeus.
Paula Broadwell, a 40-year-old graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and an Army Reserve officer, is married to Dr Scott Broadwell and has two young sons, Lucien and Landon.

The family live in Charlotte, North Carolina. She has not responded to multiple emails and phone messages.

Glamor: Paula Broadwell with her husband Dr Scott Broadwell at a black-tie event to raise money for military charities

Broadwell, who spent three years doing researching for her book, had extensive access to Petraeus in Afghanistan.
In the biography, Broadwell revealed she first met him during his visit to Harvard in spring 2006 when he was a Commander at Fort Leavenworth.
'I was among the students invited by the school to meet with the general at a dinner afterward, because of my military background,' she explained.
'I introduced myself to then–Lieutenant General Petraeus and told him about my research interests; he gave me his card and offered to put me in touch with other researchers and service members working on the same issues.'

Meanwhile, information has emerged about Jill Kelley who allegedly received harassing emails from Broadwell, leading federal investigators to discover Petraeus' sexual indiscretion.
Kelley, 37, lives in Tampa, Florida and serves as an unpaid social liaison to MacDill Air Force Base, where the military's Central Command and Special Operations Command are located.

Staffers for Petraeus, who turns 60 on Wednesday, said Kelley and her husband were regular guests at events he held at Central Command headquarters.
In a statement on Sunday, Kelley and her husband, Scott, said: 'We and our family have been friends with Gen. Petraeus and his family for over five years. We respect his and his family's privacy and want the same for us and our three children.'
A friend of Mrs Kelley told ABC News that she and Petraeus were close, but that the relationship never went any farther than friendship.

Success: Paula Broadwell, West Point graduate and military expert, on her book tour for the General Petraeus biography, All In

A military official who identified Kelley said she had received harassing emails from Broadwell, which led the FBI to examine her email account and eventually discover her relationship with Petraeus.
The new revelation raises the possibility that Broadwell was growing increasingly jealous of a government employee whose job it was to keep in contact with Petraeus.
Mrs Kelley, who feared for her safety, contacted the FBI.
It is also claimed that Broadwell used Petraeus' own Gmail account to send the emails, and when the FBI began to investigate an obvious national security issue instead uncovered explicit messages between the two sent from the decorated war hero's own account - indicating an affair.
She frequently visited the spy agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia, to meet Petraeus in his office, accompanied him on morning runs around the CIA grounds and often attended public functions as his guest, according to two ex-intelligence officials.
Petraeus broke off the steamy relationship with Broadwell before it was exposed by the FBI probe, according to friends of the retired general.
The FBI contacted Petraeus and other intelligence officials, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper asked Petraeus to resign.




First time around: Linda Robinson was the first biographer of Petraeus. In 2008, she published Tell Me How This Ends: General David Petraeus and the Search for a Way Out of Iraq

A former associate of Petraeus confirmed the target of the emails was Kelley, but said there was no affair between the two, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the retired general's private life. The associate said Kelley and her husband were longtime friends of Petraeus and his wife.
It has also come to light that Broadwell isn't the only biographer of Petraeus's who has gotten special treatment from him.
His first biographer, former U.S. News and World Reporter Linda Robinson, went to work for Petraeus at U.S. Central Command shortly after publishing her book, 'Tell Me How This Ends: General David Petraeus and the Search for a Way Out of Iraq.'
Petraeus' affair with Broadwell will be the subject of meetings on Wednesday involving congressional intelligence committee leaders, FBI deputy director Sean Joyce and CIA deputy director Michael Morell.
Petraeus had been scheduled to appear before congressional committees on Thursday to testify about the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Morell was expected to testify in place of Petraeus, and lawmakers said he should have the answers to their questions.
But Feinstein and others didn't rule out the possibility that Congress will compel Petraeus to testify about Benghazi at a later date, even though he's relinquished his job.
Clapper was told by the Justice Department of the Petraeus investigation last week at about 5 pm on Election Day, and then called Petraeus and urged him to resign, according to a senior U.S. intelligence official.
FBI officials said the congressional committees weren't informed until Friday because the matter started as a criminal investigation into harassing emails allegedly sent by Broadwell to Kelley.
Concerned that emails Petraeus exchanged with Broadwell raised the possibility of a security breach, the FBI brought the matter up with him directly.
Petraeus decided to quit, though he was breaking no laws by having an affair.

PAULA BROADWELL’S GHOSTWRITER HAD ‘NO IDEA’ ABOUT AFFAIR

• November 12, 2012 Mytheos Holt

Paula Broadwell’s affair with CIA Director David Petraeus has long since become the spiciest of DC gossip stories, with just a little bit of national security risk to add to the tawdriness.

However, for a torrid affair that seems to have been going on for some time, one thing sticks out about the relationship between Petraeus and Broadwell – namely, very few people seem to have suspected its existence. In fact, according to none other than Broadwell’s co-author on her biography of Petraeus – Washington Post editor Vernon Loeb – the relationship seemed almost outlandishly difficult to imagine. Loeb writes about his bewilderment in today’s Washington Post, describing Petraeus and Broadwell as seemingly the least likely people to have an affair, least of all with each other:

I never anticipated the extramarital affair between David H. Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, the woman I’d worked with for 16 months on a book about Petraeus’s year commanding the war in Afghanistan. On rare occasions, her good looks and close access would prompt a colleague to raise an eyebrow about their relationship, but I never took it seriously.[...]

I assumed, given how public their semi-official relationship was, that he would never engage in any risky behavior. He’d always preached to his protégés that character was what you did when no one was watching. And he would always hasten to add, from his most public of perches, that “someone is always watching.”
There was no protégé more ardent than Broadwell.
