Excerpt:

The CIA is opening an "exploratory" investigation into the basic conduct of ex-CIA director David Petraeus, who resigned last week after acknowledging an affair. CIA spokesman Preston Golson says the investigation by the CIA's inspector general "doesn't presuppose any particular outcome.". Lawmakers questioned top CIA and FBI authorities about the affair Thursday, during hearings initially scheduled to examine the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. Petraeus biographer and girlfriend Paula Broadwell was found to have actually categorized information in her possession, evidently from her time looking into Petraeus' career. The FBI cleared Petraeus of mishandling categorized information, however reserve Army officer Broadwell is under investigation and her security clearance has been suspended. Petraeus will affirm prior to Congress Friday about the events in Benghazi.
