Gen. David Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell is making headlines for having an affair with the former Central Intelligence Agency head. While questions are swirling around purportedly threatening emails that Broadwell sent to another woman, a friend of the Petraeus family named Jill Kelley, more profound curiosities surround whether the writer revealed classified information in a recent speech she delivered at the University of Denver.
Considering her close relationship with Petraeus, it is entirely possible that Broadwell was exposed to a great deal of highly-classified material. In an October 26 speech at the university, which is her alma mater, she was asked about how Petraeus handled the now-infamous attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11. Her response was fascinating and potentially problematic, as it may have contained sensitive information about part of the motivation behind the terrorist attack.
“Now, I don’t know if a lot of you heard this, but the CIA annex had actually, um, 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,” she said during her address. “So that’s still being vetted.”
