General Petraeus TV Mini Series?

With all the hype about the recent affair that has rocked not only the White House but many more instead, the ever infamous General Petraeus affair with Paula Broadwell. What does this have to do with a film company you may ask? Well everything that has happened within the case thus far has seemed so sure real, that I had to make a visual prediction of how this situation could go 1 of 2 ways.

I think there is a potential in making a movie about this situation, maybe not with the actual names of Petraeus or Broadwell but of the story itself; a higher general falls in love with the woman writing his book. The love will make them betray their families and their country while the hymns to pull on the strands of lust that lie within the air are just too great.

Sounds pretty catchy...however I always feel that as great of a story as it could be, with some alterations to the plot of course, I also think the government would not approve and it would cause a bigger uproar.

Although, I do believe timing is everything. I also feel there could be a good chance of having a try after things simmer down and General Petraeus makes his speech at Libya, as was previously planned (although that is still being tossed around).

For those that are overwhelmed by what I just wrote because you have no idea about the Patreaus situation, here is a video describing what has happened thus far.

As I said earlier, the potential of this situation being created into even just a TV mini serious could make a dramatic exit to General Patraeus' life and could have him portrayed in a different light than what he has been thrust into within the past week or so. With it being 2012, society as a whole has gotten much more open about things that were considered sinful in the 1950's such as birth control and same sex marriage. A TV mini series exploring the life of a general swooned by a manipulative writer could catch the eye of the generation of today.
