General Caught Up in Petraeus Scandal  Posted at: 11/13/2012
10:31 AM  WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says it has put on
hold John Allen's nomination to be the next commander of U.S.
European Command and the commander of NATO forces in Europe.
He's been caught up in the sex scandal that forced David
Petraeus to resign as CIA director.  Allen, who succeeded
Petraeus as top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, is under
investigation for communications with one of the women involved
in the Petraeus scandal.  Petraeus' mistress allegedly sent
threatening emails to the woman, a Petraeus family friend in
Florida.  Meanwhile, the FBI is preparing a timeline of the
criminal investigation that exposed Petraeus' extramarital
affair so it can explain to lawmakers why they weren't notified
of the probe months ago.
