Any politician who wants to turn this into a holy crusade against fornicators and adulterers is only giving the left ammunition.

Baloney. This is a potential national security issue. If the 'best of the best' are engaging in sordid behavior, then it most certainly is the public's business.

I'm guessing this is not the only time.

Ken, this sort of stuff goes on all the time under the radar. Again, I’m not justifying it, and I agree with you that there’s a potential security issue. I don’t think we know if the prostitutes had access to the secure areas where the president was staying. If so, then we do have a security breach that there are no doubt procedures within the agency and executive branch to handle.

As for the men being the best of the best, they’re still men, and I dare say the vast majority aren’t saints. I wish we had people of higher moral character in such jobs, but I doubt marital fidelity is a required to be an agent.

Lack of morality causes problems throughout society, both to individuals and the organizations where they work, but our culture celebrates it. How in the world would you even be able to staff an agency with saints in an era when screwing everything you can is generally praised?

Again, I’m not saying disciplinary action shouldn’t be taken if they violated security. That would be a failure to do their job.
