Top U.S. General In Afghanistan Is Linked To CIA Scandal (Updated)



Petraeus Sex Scandal Traps ANOTHER General: CIA Boss's Successor In Afghanistan 'Sent THOUSANDS Of Inappropriate Emails To Socialite' -- The Daily Mail

* FBI investigates 'potentially inappropriate' communication between General John Allen and Florida housewife Jill Kelley
* Leon Panetta orders Pentagon investigation into emails
* Allen was due to become NATO commander but appointment suspended
* Kelley, 37, is whistleblower who was target of 'threatening messages' from Petraeus' mistress Paula Broadwell

A U.S. general under investigation by the FBI for allegedly exchanging thousands of 'inappropriate' emails with a military socialite simply called her 'sweetheart' in a friendly way, a top official has claimed.

General John Allen reportedly exchanged 20,000 to 30,000 emails with Jill Kelley, a housewife and unpaid social liaison for the military in Tampa, while he was in charge of US forces in Afghanistan.

She entered the public eye when it was revealed she tipped off the FBI about threatening emails from David Petraeus' mistress, exposing the affair and leading to his resignation from the top of the CIA.

The revelations mean Gen. Allen, who is married with two adult daughters, is the second top military official to be dragged into the Petraeus sex scandal.
