Why do you think they call it the Secret Service?

    CARTAGENA, Colombia — A dozen Secret Service agents sent to Colombia to provide security for President Barack Obama at an international summit have been relieved of duty because of allegations of misconduct.

    A caller who said he had knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press the misconduct involved prostitutes in Cartagena, site of the Summit of the Americas. A Secret Service spokesman did not dispute that.

    A U.S. official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter and requested anonymity, put the number of agents at 12. The agency was not releasing the number of personnel involved.

    The Washington Post reported that Jon Adler, president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, said the accusations related to at least one agent having involvement with prostitutes in Cartagena. The association represents federal law enforcement officers, including the Secret Service.

    Ronald Kessler, a former Post reporter and the author of a book about the Secret Service, told the Post that he had learned that 12 agents were involved, several of them married.

    The incident threatened to overshadow Obama's economic and trade agenda at the summit and embarrass the U.S. The White House had no comment.


    This reminds me of when Kersey, Tracy Murray, Dave Johnson, and Reggie Smith had a sex scandal in Utah with underage girls.

    It reminds me of how the night before President Kennedy was assassinated, someone took a lot of his Secret Service detail out drinking in Dallas so that they were in a bad condition the next day to guard him. Who brought the whores in Columbia to these guys?

    This is just sad. They are there to protect the President- not engage with whores. And who knows? Maybe some of these gals are gathering security information covertly. This is a major breakdown in security.

    America's decades-long arch nemesis, the Danes. They've been biding their time!

    No big deal. I give them credit for being efficient and multi-tasking.

    I mean, supporting the local economy and getting trim, all at once? What more could you ask for from these guys?
