[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 1988249, member: 3371"] Trouble in paradise: Jill Kelley, the Tampa socialite at the center of the Petraeus scandal, has lost the privilege of visiting MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa without an escort. The base is home to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), and Kelley, who enjoyed rubbing shoulders with top military brass, had been granted unescorted access to the base under a program initiated by the Air Force unit that runs operations at the base. A Defense official confirms to ABC News that Kelley participated in a base program known as the "Friends of MacDill" where she was granted a card that allowed the bearer to clear security when entering the base. A person must be nominated to enter the program, and must pass a background check by the wing's security office. The official did not know who nominated Kelley for the program. The Defense official said Kelley's privileges under the program have been taken away "as she is involved in an ongoing investigation." Kelley, her husband and her twin sister, Natalie Khawam, hosted parties and became friendly with top military officials in Tampa, including both Gen. Petraeus and Gen. John Allen, commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. .... Kelley's hosting of events to honor the military continued up until the very moment her name became public. News of her role in the Petraeus scandal broke as she was hosting an afternoon event at her house that included Vice Admiral Robert Harward, CENTCOM's Deputy Commander, as a guest.
