Summary and Review

Based on what is thus far known, there is no evidence of a relationship between Petraeus and the woman named today.

Rather, it appears as if Petraeus, while stationed at the Tampa command, became a friend of the family, attending the Gasparilla celebration with both the husband and wife, as reported by the Tampa Bay Times.

This increasingly seems like a personal matter between Petraeus and Broadwell, who had demonstrated a clear and persistent interest in the General.

The connection that is being drawn by some to Benghazi seems a rather desperate hold over from the lost election.
