Maybe there's another message here.
"If the director of the CIA can't escape our all seeing eye, what chance do you have?"

Once FBI investigators had found the Google account that he shared with his mistress, Google gave them a list of IP addresses that had accessed that account. At least one of those IP addresses was linked to him. Even recursion knew better than that

Most here know better than to do things the way he did. It wouldn't surprise me if part of the reason behind the heavy coverage this is getting in mainstream news is to send the average user such a message.

• Petraeus Case Fuels Fresh Debate on Online Privacy

WASHINGTON - The investigation that toppled CIA chief David Petraeus has sparked fresh debate over online privacy and the government's ability to snoop into private email accounts.

"When the CIA director cannot hide his activities online, what hope is there for the rest of us?" said Chris Soghoian of the American Civil Liberties Union's Privacy and Technology Project

"This should also serve as a warning, by demonstrating the extent to which the government can pierce the veil of communications anonymity without ever having to obtain a search warrant or other court order from a neutral judge."

• As CIA Chief Scandal Looms, Lawmakers Consider Tightening E-Mail Privacy

Recent intrusions by the FBI into e-mail correspondence between former CIA Director David Petraeus and his mistress and biographer, Paula Broadwell, have raised a lot of questions and concerns about the government’s ability to access private e-mails.

The current law covering access to e-mail gives the government the right to snoop without a court order on email that’s older than 180 days, but requires a court order for missives that are newer than this, a fact that privacy activists have been trying to change for years.

Not impressed, MR CIA is a bone head about as much as the President of a small nation one point that used a email place like Gmail, and all his passwords were "12345"

EPIC FAIL

He should have gotten a tech to help him\her out with that or something,someone he could trust.

Its really not a problem to be able to chat with people with out getting snooped on if you know what your doing and using Gmail = fail if you want privacy on any topic imho.

that reminds me, i think ill be setting up my own privet email server.
wanna crack 1024bit encryption ? go for it lol

off-topic:
