This has nothing to do with civilized or uncivilized. getting attracted to opposite sex is a human instinct that God created inside humans and asked to resist it to death. That threshold can get crossed (and it does) anywhere.
Are you trying to justify extra-marital affairs here? The guy is not just married but a key figure in USA. If he was unhappy, he would have divorced his wife and then looked at other woman. Can you imagine the pain he would have caused to his wife by this? Instead of retiring with pride and honor, he went out with shame.
This isn't how civilized people supposed to behave when they brag about being civilized to others.
The difference of 'civilized' people here is that, the CIA chief admitted it himself openly and resigned by himself before any media outcry and scandal. Also, the biographer was not found dead somewhere.
Maybe the **** was about to hit the fan and he decided to act. Also, media is becoming very powerful even in the so-called 3rd world countries. It isn't easy to threaten or kill a reporter in a country where media is strong.
If anybody is wondering its comparison in Pakistan, you can read about scandals of Pakistani politicians and their aftermath (deaths, acid attacks). More recently scandal of Shahbaz Sharif family.
And who is going to challenge a CIA Director and key US military figure in this manner?
Also, last time I checked; this website is up and running;
Nawaz Sharif Scandals
Their are more of these. And their creators/owners haven't been killed yet. So do not generalize.
Death threats are given even in USA. Their are lot of cases. Do some digging on your own. Difference is that Western media sources are controlled and very selective about what they reveal and how they reveal.
This whole propaganda of WEST being "civilized" is a sham. The treatment of Julian Assange is in front of you who exposed WESTERN hypocrisy and propaganda. He is now facing charges of even rape (his character assassination is being done on purpose). So much for freedom of speech and expression and free media.
