Nonverbal Communication Analysis # 2187: Paula Broadwell with Hearsay on Benghazi Attack - Excerpt from University of Denver Speech and a Body Language form of "Duping Delight" ....

This short & edited video segment from her University of Denver speech, Paula Broadwell seems to leak either hearsay and/or state secrets regarding the CIA's investigation into the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya on 11 September 2012. The recent news of her extra-marital affair with former CIA Chief and Four Star General, David Petraeus raises questions as to how she came into this information.

In what is a very somber subject (and so any sort of a smile is not congruent), Ms. Broadwell displays a nonverbal form of a "Duping Delight" (Ekman) with her partial, mouth-only, left-sided pseudo-smile during the 0:26 - 0:30 segment. She is "duping" us because she knows something that we don't know and she's very pleased with herself. This body language is akin to a child who knows a secret and cannot keep a straight face. Paula's not telling us everything either.
