A senior U.S. military official (click here) says the author who had an affair with David Petraeus sent harassing emails to a woman who was the State Department's liaison to the military's Joint Special Operations Command.

...The FBI probe began several months ago with a complaint against Broadwell. That investigation led to Broadwell's email account, which uncovered the relationship with Petraeus.

The FBI had to investigate harassment that could have turned into deadly attacks.

...Nowak (click here) had flown on the Space Shuttle Discovery in July 2006, working as a robotics arm operator during space walks.

Seven months later, she got into her husband's blue BMW, drove nearly 1,000 miles from Houston to Orlando - allegedly using diapers along the way so she wouldn't have to stop - stalked Shipman throughout the airport and then attacked her in a darkened parking lot.

Nowak and her husband, Richard, divorced in 2008....
