I still find it hard to believe that the USSS agents are so stupid. I don't care about the sex for hire. I care about the breach in security. If I were a foreign intelligence agency, friend or foe, I would be working those bars and those girls. Those USSS agents would be easy targets. So easy in fact they wouldn't even know they were taken.

I was in the military, I saw plenty of things the Soviets and others tried. I also had to deal with service members who found themselves in trouble involving a prostitute. I don't find it hard to believe at all.

What do you think the Soviets were doing during the Cold War? Targeting US military and State Department personnel, among many other Americans. They did so with very beautiful women. Every now and then somebody would get caught, but many either did not get caught, or were caught and things were kept secret for obvious reasons.

We'd like to believe that everybody that serves their country is an upstanding choir boy, but choir boys don't always make the best of soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines, and in this case Secret Service personnel.

I think most of the people feigning outrage over this are just doing it because they don't like Obama and not because they are surprised by this. There are probably some who have never been stationed overseas or been in or around intelligence operations or don't realize that there are a lot of men out there that don't have any qualms about purchasing the services of prostitutes or that prostitutes maybe spies, and they may in fact be genuinely shocked. But most of us know otherwise.

Unless you put some kind of chastity belt on every service member and Secret Service agent, this will happen again. And again. And again.
