I believe that process is moving smoothly although there has been what we anticipated which is some sensational attacks albeit in numbers that have still been vastly below the numbers of attacks -- we see about 10-15 attacks per day in Iraq over the course of the last six months as opposed to 160 attacks per day back in June of 2007."

    The FBI and Justice Department prosecutors have recommended bringing criminal charges against former CIA chief David Petraeus for improperly providing classified information to a female Army Reserve officer with whom he was having an affair, the New York Times reported on Friday (January 9).
    The newspaper cited officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. The Justice Department investigation focuses on whether Petraeus gave the woman, Paula Broadwell, access to his CIA email account and other highly classified information. The Times said officials have recommended felony charges.
