"Earlier Friday, CIA Director David Petraeus announced that he is resigning from the agency due to having engaged in an extramarital affair. His resignation set off a media storm that uncovered a scandal worthy of its own soap opera.
"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.
