General '''David Petraeus''' is the former Director of the [[Central Intelligence Agency]] and the former head of the U.S. Central Command, the region spanning from Afghanistan to Egypt. As head of the U.S.-led multinational force in [[Iraq]] he led the successful 'Surge' strategy, destroying insurgents terrorist groups. He was unanimously confirmed by the [[US Senate]], particularly because of his long-established reputation for honesty. Speaking of honesty, Petraeus was ousted from his CIA post in a blackmail scheme after getting caught in an [[adultery|extramarital affair]] and refusing to go along with the [[Benghazi massacre]] [[coverup]].
