Could it be that David Petraeus, the ex-CIA director caught having an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, fed her lines about his marriage falling.

When news broke of the four-star General David Petraeus' philandering ways, one of the first concerns was, of course, national security.

Something that can be ripped from a classic paperback page-turner or spy film, you could easily substitute Kevin Costner for the lead and Sean Young for the mistress. Sound familiar? I'm sure I'm not the only one who all of a sudden had a craving to revisit the classic 80s Cold War flick No Way Out.

Sure Petraeus may have a passing resemblance to Costner, but from what we are gathering, the lady in question -- biographer Paula Broadwell who wrote All In: The Education of General David Petraeus (I know, I know), which came out in January of this year, not only looks like, but is acting more and more like Sean Young.

For those of you who may not be familiar, actress Sean Young's erratic off-screen notorious-ness is the stuff of legends that basically drifted through the entire 80s and 90s before she pretty much fell off the celebrity star map.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus shared top-secret intel with his mistress, including war strategy and identities of spies, according to federal court documents filed Tuesday.

Petraeus, whose stellar career imploded over a sex scandal, reached a plea deal with prosecutors who detailed the amazing level of pillow talk the former spy chief had with biographer Paula Broadwell.

Those books “collectively contained classified information regarding the identities of covert officers, war strategies, intelligence capabilities and mechanisms, diplomatic discussions, quotes and deliberative discussions from high-level National Security Council meetings and defendant David Howell Petraeus’s discussions with the President of th

Gen. David Petraeus has just challenged me to a push-up contest. A moment later he's prone--ramrod straight, back and arms rigid. Then in a 90-second blur, he hammers out 81 push-ups while deconstructing David Ignatius's latest novel. How can anyone keep up with that?

Our workout unfolds early in September. In less than two weeks, Petraeus, the four-star general who commands the multinational force fighting in Iraq, will fly to Washington. There, he'll sit before a congressional panel to present a midterm report on the war, which will make him the focal point of headlines and TV newscasts and controversy. But right now, he's just showing a reporter how to bang out push-ups.

We're working out in an undisclosed Baghdad location; I can't divulge specifics for security reasons. After all, military bases here in Iraq are periodically hit by mortar and rocket attacks. (While th
