I dont believe the accusations against the Secret Service
CNN ^ | 4-14-12 | Dan Lothian

The Secret Service is an honorable organization, willing to put up with abuse from Hillary and others while putting their lives at risk protecting them. I dont believe this story.

By your insinuations the military is equally complicit in supporting a commie usurper.

Why not run your mouth indicting EVERYONE in the military?

This story is HUGE and will have legs! It broke friday and wont get going until monday. Diplomats were needed to get this resolved and many of the agents are married. It will blow open a lot of crap going on...

yes, there are some high ranking military that are involved in protecting the commie usurper. If you do some research you will know names. Hussein cant even pass the background check and secret service has allowed slimy visitors inside the white house.

Let’s get back to your blanket statement:

” They took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, didn’t they? You seem to forget their actions during Slick Willie’s term when they were doing back flips to avoid testifying during Clinton’s impending impeachment trial. Yeah, real stand-up guys.”

You either smeared ALL Secret Service or implicated a select few.

Which is it?

yes, ALL of the secret service is now smeared [including some good ones] because many of them failed in their duty regarding a commie usurper, fraud and forger. There is a criminal investigation ongoing from sheriff arpaio but nothing from the secret service. Here is Horst and the commie hussein...

Any organization whose name starts with Secret does not belong in America. Dictators have Secret Service not politicians supposedly serving the people......The military has become thoroughly politicized and corrupted, supporting the reason our founders wanted no standing land army.

Thus why the urgency to replace the rolling cocoon of security? I think its because Obama is about to do something he does NOT want America to know about.

One has to hope that at least one of the twelve will now report on what is going on. I also agree that the new black panther party will replace the Secret Service on the POTUS detail soon.

It should from a theoretical perspective, but it doesn't necessarily mean it will be the case consistently. A cop, for example, should be an upstanding member of society who recognises the power AND responsibility that comes with his badge and his gun. Most cops act responsibly and within the mandate of the law, but some think they are beyond the law. Just because something should be doesn't mean that it is. There are a good number of examples, looking at the world of intelligence and espionage, where people who should have known better are trapped and tricked using stratagems that should never have had any chance of getting them. For instance, it is pure folly for a Western agent/diplomat/ambassador to fall for the old-and-tired honeytrap ruse. It should be unthinkable to get trapped by some pretty stranger, yet there are those who still fall prey to some foreign woman's thighs.

Anyways, my point in the original post was not that it is ok for agents to be picking up prostitutes (both from a health perspective, an optics and pr perspective, and a national security perspective just in case the 'prostitute' is more than that). My point was that it is myopic for a poster to say the story is 'false' because he/she doesn't believe a Secret Service agent can do such a thing. I was saying as long as the posts are held by humans, in a sample size there will always be those who should have known better but did otherwise. Even with the best selection processes it is difficult to assure, always, a given outcome (although some, like Tier One services like DEVGRU, CAG and the FBI's HRT, come exceedingly close). In most cases, whether it be priests, cops, soldiers - or SS agents -, there will always be that stupid few who think they can get away with something. Saying a story is false because 'x' can't do 'y' was my target during my first post.

I’m suspicious of these charges.

Thus why the urgency to replace the rolling cocoon of security? I think its because Obama is about to do something he does NOT want America to know about.

To clarify, this was an outlying hotel that was secured by part of the advance team. The team likely consisted of two agents and ten officers, who are not part of the personal protection detail and were never near Obama to 'spy' on him. They were protecting one of the brat pack hotels where the lower echelon drones stay - from people who work for the Department of State to Commerce.

IF this was personal protection AND the hotel where Obama was staying, you might be right. But these are third stringer bench warmers who screwed up and let someone into a secure area, and likely didn't log it. That means everyone gets on a plane and goes back home to get interviewed about the breach, because this is how the SS operates. That it's also been announced as a referral to internal affairs means that this is more than just about a hooker (a code of conduct issue dealt with by supervisors) to an actual breach of security and a cover up.

The cover up simply could have been falsifying the security log by not recording the hooker's real identity, or worse, not logging her in and out at all. That, the SS takes EXTREMELY seriously.

You are parroting cop haters who think the actions of some taint everyone.

If someone justifiably criticizes a LEO or group of LEOs for wrongful actions, you immediately label them cop haters? Come on, grow up. We are talking specifics here.

I don't know where you were back during Slick Willie's administration, but the Secret Service was doing everything it could to avoid testifying before the Senate in the impending impeachment trial. What happened to their oath to uphold the Constitution? They were verbalizing at that time that it was their role to "protect the President" from all threats including threats of conviction for illegal acts.

If you ever had the chance to meet an honorable secret service agent who does his duty while holding the personal opinion that Obama is an arrogant prick you’d eat your words.

Honorable SS agent? That is an oxymoron. We have a sheriff in Arizona who has stepped forward and identified forgeries in Zero's birth certificate and Selective Service registration and where is the Secret Service? Where is your "honorable" Secret Service agent?

Get real!

A porn addict or a homosexual would have not have a problem with getting sex wherever and whenever they could.

Are you judging????? Are you a hater????? /s/

That is the elitists’ current cultural cleansing program in the name of gay sex pride. No sexual discernment!

From the article:

“Also Saturday, the U.S. military announced that five service members assigned to support the Secret Service in its assignment have been “confined to quarters” in Colombia after they violated curfew and “may have been involved in inappropriate conduct” at the same hotel. The statement, from U.S. Southern Command, did not offer more details, including whether prostitution was involved.”

12 sent home and 5 CONFINED to quarters? What the heck is going on here?
