Emails from Broadwell to Kelley said to be more threatening than initially reported.

snip

The friend, who has not been identified, said that Kelley, a military party planner in Tampa, had called her to seek advice after receiving the messages and read them out over the phone.

Speaking to the New York Daily News, she described the messages as much more threatening than originally reported, adding: 'Any normal person who got emails like that would have immediately called police.'


In the messages, which were sent anonymously, Broadwell promised to 'make you go away' and boasted about her military background and having 'powerful' friends, the Daily News reported.

'This wasn’t just a case of cyber-bullying,' the friend said. '(Kelley) was scared for her life. She had reason to be. These emails are the real thing. When she read them to me, I literally had the shivers.'

CIA Director gets deeply involved with sociopath. Her extreme behavior sheds light on an entire out-of-control military subculture. The man was not only gathering and processing intelligence, he was producing it.

these are the personalities and conditions that can lead to a military coup.
The MIC has far too much power in this country and as the Afghanistan War
winds down who knows what they were thinking.

I've been thinking of the dynamic between the MIC and Obama. They're going to lose a lot of leverage they had in his first term, it would seem. He had to tread lightly, lest the Muslin Socialist be called disloyal and weak; if anything he probably overcompensated. That goes away in the second term, and it all starts out with a spectacular display of juvenile and dangerous behavior on their part. I hope he uses the opportunity to settle whatever scores he may have wanted to settle in the first term and impose some humility on these frat boys.
