#1 I wonder if these problems have arisen as a result of re-organization under Homeland Security instead of under the Dept. of Treasury in 2003? Or is it just a corruption and rot that has developed and spread throughout government?

#2 Glenn Beck pointed out, and I agree, that this whole Secret Service thing is really peculiar (and this is the worst, but by no means only example) - what's going on? Can their professionalism have fallen off a cliff in the last few years? Why? They even maintained it through all of Hillary's abuses. Or is it some kind of sabotage? From where? If something doesn't make sense - and this doesn't - then you don't know the whole story.

#3 Not paying off a whore? What the hell? This story has a bad end no matter who you are. She's local, you're not. Pay a hundred bucks to her or deal with the authorities - which is easier?

#5 according to a couple of my Marines that were on MSG duty in Central/South America - it was not uncommon when the secret service came to town that they'd ask the Marines what part of town the best "escorts" were working out of.

#6 ..they'd ask the Marines what part of town the best "escorts" were working out of.

Guess they didn't check with State for the Ted Kennedy approved establishments.

#9 1. The fish rots from the head. 2. It may be poorly briefed that human trafficking and/or under-aged prostitution as many other items of health. 3. As a representative of the Federal Government, and as of your Country, you ought to know better. 4. It's a petty crime unless CINC could have been compromised by leaving... say calendars about. 5. If off duty, remember above.
6. Some learn the hard way. The Price of Freedom? a Buck O' Five. The price of a Security Clearance? $36,000.00 and a job.
7. Let's not make a which hunt.The administration has plenty of "Gun Walkers" across the border.

#10 You should have paid the $47 in Columbia. You never know whom the pimp may be.
