CIA SCANDAL LATEST-2 SHOT

BRAND NEW EXPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INVESTIGATION AND RESIGNATION OF DAVID PATRAEUS.

THERE ARE NEW REVELATIONS OF A POSSIBLE RELATIONSHP BETWEEN THE TOP U-S COMMANDER IN AFGHANISTAN AND A SECOND WOMAN INVOLVED IN

THE CASE.

CIA SCANDAL LATEST-PKG

THIS MORNING, THE F-B-I PROBE INTO DAVID PETREAUS'S AFFAIR APPEARS TO HAVE

ALSO ENSNARED HIS SUCCESSOR IN AFGHANISTAN

George Little -- the Federal Bureau of Investigation referred

to the Department of Defense a matter involving General John Allen,

Commander of the International Security Assistance Force

THAT MATTER INVOLVES "POTENTIALLY INAPPROPRIATE" EMAILS BETWEEN GENERAL

ALLEN -- A MARRIED FATHER AND X-STAR GENERAL -- AND JILL KELLEYA PETREAUS

FAMILY FRIEND AT THE CENTER OF THIS INCREASINGLY STRANGE SCANDAL.

THE PENTAGON IS NOW REVIEWING TWENTY TO THIRTY THOUSAND PAGES OF DOCUMENTS

FROM THE FBI - MOST, APPARENTLY, ARE EMAILS BETWEEN ALLEN AND KELLY SENT

OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.

KELLY IS THE PETREAUS FAMILY FRIEND WHO WENT TO THE F-B-I ABOUT THREATENING

EMAILS SHE WAS RECEIVING

THOSE MESSAGES WERE TRACED BACK TO PETREAUS'S BIOGRAPHER PAULA BROADWELL

SPURRING THE INVESTIGATION THAT LED TO THE CIA DIRECTOR'S RESIGNATION.

MEANTIME Overnight NEARLY A dozen FEDERAL agents descended on Paula

Broadwell's home - SPENDING FOUR AND A HALF HOURS going floor to floor

LEAVING WITH A DESKTOP COMPUTER, CARDBOARD BOXES AND A BRIEFCASE.SOURCES SAY

BROADWELL CONSENTED TO THE SEARCH

JUST A FEW HOURS EARLIER WASHINGTON POST REPORTER VERNON LOEB -- who spent

16 months working side-by-side BROADWELL GHOSTWRITING HER BIOGRAPHY OF

PETREAUS TOLD THE NEWSPAPER'S WEBSITE HE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE AFFAIR.

SOT VERNON LOEB

Female colleagues of mine weren't shy in remarking about Broadwell's good

looks and her affinity for flashy, cocktail party attire even at staid

national security conferences. Was something going on with Petraeus? I

always said I didn't think so.

We are ALSO learning more about the scope of the affair between Petraeus and

Broadwell -- an official telling ABC News the FBI uncovered "hundreds if

not thousands of emails between Petraeus and Broadwell" -- many of them

salacious in nature.

AS FOR THOSE EMAILS JILL KELLEY RECEIVED FROM BROADWEL THAT SET THIS ALL IN

MOTION Sources tell ABC News references were made to Petraeus but he was

not specifically named / Broadwell accused Kelley in the emails of

flaunting herself.

officials tell ABC News KELLEY told Petraeus about the MESSAGES.

LATE MONDAY BEFORE KELLEY'S NAME WAS LINKED TO GENERAL ALLEN. HER BROTHER

DEFENDED HER TO REPORTERS

David Khawam -- something like this is really pretty much a fluke, you know

. Um, so for anybody to paint her other than that is completely wrong.

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

Monday ended up being fairly cloudy at times across Southwest Florida, but a lot of those clouds will fade today, giving way to more sunshine and warmer temperatures.

We'll start this Tuesday with mostly clear and sunny conditions; the only exception will be in the few spots we see some patchy fog during the early morning hours.

The breeze will ease up a little today, but winds will still mostly be out of the east, ranging from 5-15 with some higher gusts.

Temperatures will run slightly above average this afternoon with daytime highs mostly reaching the mid 80s.

Rain prospects look pretty low today, so aside from one or two stray showers, our First Alert LIVE Radar will show dry weather from start to finish.

Wednesday is also looking like another quiet day. We'll mention the possibility of seeing a few more clouds around as a weakening cool front fades and fizzles across North Central Florida, but this system will have little influence on our weather. A spotty shower or two may develop Wednesday afternoon, but rain chances will stay below 20%.

We'll have to wait for the next cold front to move through early this weekend for our next rain chance and dose of cool air.

Thursday and Friday look to be very pleasant, mild days with lots of sunshine. Temperatures will be close to average for this time of year with highs in the low to mid 80s and lows in the low to mid 60s.

The next cool front to head our way will approach Southwest Florida Saturday. We may see a few isolated showers as it passes through, and then we'll start to feel some changes in the air by Saturday evening.

Temperatures by Sunday morning should cool into the mid to upper 50s, and our daytime temperatures Sunday will be noticeably cooler with highs in the mid to upper 70s. The air will feel more refreshing, too, as humidity levels start to drop off.

FISCAL CLIFF-2 SHOT

THE WHITE HOUSE AND CONGRESS WILL BEGIN TALKS IN EARNEST THIS WEEK TO AVOID A SO-CALLED FISCAL CLIFF.

THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR WILL SEE TAX INCREASES AND DRASTIC SPENDING CUTS ACROSS THE BOARD. UNLESS THEY CAN REACH A DEAL ON CUTTING THE DEFICIT.

FISCAL CLIFF-PKG

--

THE HALLS OF THE CAPITOL.EERILY QUIET AS CONGRESS COMMEMORATES VETERANS DAY.

BUT THIS STILLNESS WILL SOON BE REPLACED BY FRENZY --TO AVOID THE FISCAL CLIFF.

PUBLIC POSTURING - HOWEVER - IS WELL UNDER WAY.

"We can't accept an unfair deal that piles all of this on the middle class and tells them they have to support it."

"You have to have revenues on the table. That does NOT mean raising taxes."

BUT THERE ARE NEW CRACKS IN THAT GOP PLEDGE. CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATOR BILL KRISTOL:

"It won't kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires. It really won't, I don't think. I don't understand why Republicans don't take Obama's offer to freeze taxes for everyone below 250,000 and make it a million - really?"

HE DOESN'T GET A VOTE. G-O-P SENATOR BOB CORKER DOES

"We know there has to be revenues. And I think, look, I haven't met a wealthy Republican or Democrat in Tennessee that's not willing to contribute more as long as they know we solve the problem."

STILL - EVEN IF REPUBLICANS AGREE TO RAISE TAXES ON WEALTHY AMERICANS, THERE IS STILL A BIG DIVIDE OVER HOW TO DO THAT.

DEMOCRATS PLEDGE TO LET BUSH ERA TAX RATES FOR FAMILIES MAKING $250 THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE EXPIRE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. GO FROM 35% TO 39.6%. TO GET NEARLY A TRILLION IN DEFICIT REDUCTION

"If someone can show another plan that doesn't do that we could look at it but no one's shown one because I think it's mathematically impossible."

REPUBLICANS SAY WHAT THEIR OPEN TO -- IS CLOSING TAX LOOPHOLES AND ELIMINATING SOME DEDUCTIONS.

SO FAR, THE PRESIDENT AND HOUSE SPEAKER HAVE GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SOUND CONCILIATORY. WHICH SOURCES IN BOTH PARTIES TELL C-N-N IS ALL ABOUT POSITIONING THEMSELVES TO LOOK REASONABLE.

BUT EACH MAN FACES UNIQUE PRESSURES FROM WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY.

IN THE SENATE, FOR EXAMPLE, SEVERAL DEMOCRATS FACING RE-ELECTION IN 2 YEARS ARE FROM RED STATES. ANY MAY BE RELUCTANT TO VOTE FOR TAX INCREASES.

ON THE G-O-P SIDE, BOEHNER HAS A CAUCUS FULL OF REPUBLICANS WHO SIGNED A PLEDGE SPONSORED BY GROVER NORQUIST NOT TO RAISE TAXES. AND HE ISN'T BUDGING.

"The problem is not that the peasants aren't sending enough money into Washington. We need to reduce the total spending. and we do need more revenue."

STANDUP: "According to Norquist's website - 236 House members signed his no tax increase pledge. That's all but 6 House Republicans. BUT - as CNN first reported last week, House speaker John Boehner used a post election conference call with rank and file House Republicans to ask for patience.to give him running room to negotiate with the president who, after all, DID just win re-election, mandate or not.

THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED?

"Oh say can you see."

BUT OH SAY YOU MIGHT NOT HEAR THIS SONG AT SOME HIGH SCHOOL SPORTING EVENTS.

A) NO NAT ANTHEM-2 SHOT NATS VO

TESLA CAR OF THE YEAR-VO TOPS

A SHOCKER SO TO SPEAK. TESLA'S "MODEL S" IS MOTOR TREND'S CAR OF THE YEAR.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME THE MAGAZINE'S AWARD HAS GONE TO AN ALL-ELECTRIC CAR.

THE PLUG-IN LUXURY CAR TOPPED THE LIST OF 11 CONTENDERS THAT INCLUDED MODELS SUCH AS THE FORD FUSION, PORSCHE 911 AND HYUNDAI AZERA.

TO BE ELIGIBLE, CONTENDERS MUST BE A CAR, NOT AN S-U-V OR TRUCK, AND MUST BE COMPLETELY NEW OR SUBSTANTIALLY REDESIGNED FOR THE NEW MODEL YEAR.

NO NAT ANTHEM-2 SHOT TRAFFIC

IS IT UN-AMERICAN OR SAVING OF TAX PAYER MONEY?

HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY TEAMS IN PENNSYLVANIA ARE BEING ADVISED TO STOP PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AT GAMES.

THE ORGANIZATION THAT OVERSEES THE TEAMS SAYS IT TAKES UP TOO MUCH TIME AND COULD COST MONEY.

NO NAT ANTHEM-PKG

"Oh say can you see."

PLAYING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS AS MUCH A PART OF SPORTING EVENTS AS HOT DOGS AND YELLING AT THE OFFICIALS.

BUT P-I-H-L COMMISSIONER ED SAM SENT OUT AN EMAIL TO THE 183 HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS IN THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN PART OF THE STATE.SAYING THAT THE SINGING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS NOT PERMITTED.

"The National Anthem should not be played only because of the time constraints.okay? It's not that we're not patriotic, that's the furthest from the truth."

HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY MUST RENT THE ICE TIME, SO EVERY GAME IS CAREFULLY TIMED TO GET IN AS MANY IN AS POSSIBLE IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME.

"Ice is very, very hard to get, okay? And it's not cheap. We're talking $300 an hour sometimes."

SO, WHEN THE TIME FOR A GAME IS UP.PLAY IS STOPPED.EVEN IF THE GAME IS RUNNING OVER BECAUSE OF AN OVERLY VERBOSE SINGING OF THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, WHICH HAPPENED RECENTLY.

"The coach could protest because the national anthem was played."

"No, they should just extend the time period they have to play the game."

"I don't agree with it. I think it's a bad policy. I think there's gotta be some other time that can be cut."

COMMISSIONER SAM POINTS OUT THE TEAMS AREN'T PROHIBITED FROM PLAYING THE ANTHEM, JUST DISCOURAGED.

"I go back to the 1960s with high school hockey, and we've always played the national anthem. So, I think that it's something that should be done.

It's part of our history and our country and absolutely should be part of the game."

MOCK SUGGESTS A PRE-RECORDED STANDARDIZED MINUTE AND A HALF VERSION FOR ALL GAMES.
