Petraeus Apologizes For Affair

    David H. Petraeus

    Former CIA Director David Petraeus, who resigned last fall following an extra-marital affair, is re-entering public life. And in his first speech since resigning, made an apology.

    FOX News Radio’s Steve Knight reports:

    Petraeus was just moments into a his first public speech since resigning…

    (Petraeus) “How deeply I regret and apologize for.”

    …his extra-marital affair with biographer Paula Broadwell.

    Petraeus spoke at the University of Southern California’s ROTC dinner:

    (Petraeus) “Perhaps my experience can be instructive to others who stumble or indeed fall as far as I did.”

    The FBI discovered the affair.

    Petraeus quickly resigned from the CIA and submerged himself in private life, trying to repair the admitted damage.

    A high-powered Washington attorney is helping Petraeus develop a new role for himself as a voice on veterans issues and in the private sector.
