It was in June when FBI initiated the investigation after the collection of hundreds of kilobytes of personal data along with five e-mails. FBI kept it confidential until this month, when the news exploded in the public. FBI was aware of the several private messages containing intimate secrets, and had access to similar data owned by none other than a US Commander and CIA Director. The bureau, however, does not think of the whole issue as a crime.
On the other hand, several security and defense analysts of US have given strong statements on the issue. Most of the security analysts rate such actions as a threat to their national security. The question as to how it happened and what consequences can it lead to are the most debatable issues in the US today. Whatever the findings of the committee may be, FBI's in-depth access to the personal information cannot be denied, as they found no hindrance in coming across the personal information of one of the top most officials of US army.
The FBI states that they have handled and managed the case in the same manner they carry out a criminal investigation. Justice Department stated that the board follows facts and figure related to any issue, and the same will be the case on this one as well. The investigation kept on taking new turns, and some say that it was deliberately done because the stakes were too high on this issue.
National security was certainly at risk, says the criminal inquiry board. The CIA director had to guard various secrets of national level, and the question whether David Petraeus was involved in a security breach or not is unsettling the people. Officials have shifted the matter from an extramarital affair to the breach of national security. Harassment by means of e-mail tracking is another legal aspect attached to the investigation. When the investigation bore no results, FBI decided to turn the focus on Paula Broadwell. The investigation is carried out as to how she got access to the classified files.
With people arguing about the national security being under the threat, experts rate the loss of General Petraeus as a huge dent in the national security itself. With lots of data on offer, you can intermingle between the facts and the true sense of the investigation can be lost owing to the multiple dimensions. These views were expressed by Adam, Schiff, an intelligence committee member.
Along with the national security, protecting one's online information is a key element to look into in this case. A legal search is always accompanied with a warrant, and when it comes to the online information, personal information of innocent people must be kept confidential at all costs.
FBI and related agencies follow a procedure known as €Minimization€, which protects the personal information of innocent people doing communication via internet. With all the talks related to national security and the extramarital affair between CIA director David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell, this particular action taken by FBI is under the scanner by the departments ensuring internet security for the users.
