Did the Husband of Petraeus' Mistress Write NYT's 'Dear Abby'?

Coincidence? It sure fits the details. Check out this letter written in July to the NYT's The Ethicist column:
My wife is having an affair with a government executive. His role is to manage a project whose progress is seen worldwide as a demonstration of American leadership. (This might seem hyperbolic, but it is not an exaggeration.) I have met with him on several occasions, and he has been gracious. (I doubt if he is aware of my knowledge.) I have watched the affair intensify over the last year, and I have also benefited from his generosity. He is engaged in work that I am passionate about and is absolutely the right person for the job. I strongly feel that exposing the affair will create a major distraction that would adversely impact the success of an important effort. My issue: Should I acknowledge this affair and finally force closure? Should I suffer in silence for the next year or two for a project I feel must succeed? Should I be “true to my heart” and walk away from the entire miserable situation and put the episode behind me?
NAME WITHHELD

UPDATE:

NYT's Hugo Lindgren is reporting that the above letter is NOT from Broadwell's husband. Which means there is still another high level cheater in the government,

  2. I really feel for these state worshippers sometimes. The agony they must go through as they become disenchanted. What's great is that they still cling to this "absolutely best man for the job" tripe.

    Tell your wife if she thinks she's got something better, go for it.
