Heads Are Rolling At The Secret Service

Dismissals followed revelations that 11 agents had cavorted with prostitutes before President Obama arrived in Cartegena, Colombia. The Secret Service fired three agents and put eight on administrative leave. Agency officials said one supervisor would be allowed to retire but one more would be fired for cause. The Associated Press reported searches of the hotel rooms found no evidence of illegal drug use.

I'm so sick of hearing this story! How many soldiers have been overseas and had a prostitute! Quite a few I'm sure, in my opinion these guys didnt do nothing wrong, prostitution is completely legal in Columbia.

Anon 9:31. That's all well & fine as long as MY tax dollars aren't paying for ANY part of it. That includes use of the room, activities on "company" time or the pro herself. The whole thing's just a disgrace! They need to get rid of the whole basket of rotten applea before they spoil the whole crop.

somehow i think this situation is not as it is being portrayed. i am skeptical of a "lapse of judgement" this large amongst a group of men with the discipline that this job requires. i think there is some tom foolery and railroading going on in this administration.

I would prefer that the SS really slack off for this president...
Just look the other way guys.
Better days ahead if you don't do your job.

There is a big difference between a soldier and a Secret Service agent, especially in this circumstance.
