据悉美国中央情报局局长大卫·彼得雷乌斯已经因婚外恋辞职，总统奥巴马接受了他的辞呈，感谢彼得雷乌斯将军为美国效力数十年。Kim Ghattas在华盛顿报道。

General David Petraeus issued a statement to announce that he'd handed in his resignation to President Barack Obama on Thursday afternoon. He said that after 37 years of married life, he'd shown poor judgement by having an extra-marital affair. Mr Petraeus said his behaviour was unacceptable as a husband and as a leader of an organization like the CIA. In a statement, President Obama said General Petraeus had served with dedication and patriotism for decades and was an outstanding General officer. Mr Obama also said he wished the General and his wife the very best at this difficult time.
