    What worries me is the fact that the FBI, after checking out Ms. Broadwell and saying " no security threat " continued checking her e-mails and found out that she was having a affiar with Gen. Petraeus. Having an affair is not against the law. Is the FBI now going to check for morals too? Are they going to be like the Sharia Morals police like they have in a few muslem countries?
