The problem is that they could have compromised national security by giving details all for a few minutes of pleasure.

I wouldn't doubt if Obama said, “go have some fun boys but if you get caught I knew nothing”.

STUPID! STUPID! I hope they lose their jobs. If you’re no smarter that that then you don’t need to be there.

Obama really wouldn't have had an substantive contact with these guys. And I'm not saying that what they did was right morally. But it appears to have been legal in Colombia. And the "compromised national security" argument is so broad that it would effectively mean they coulnd't have a relationship with anyone. Heck, a hooker is almost safer in that regard because you're paying the price in moneny, not information.

As I understand it, the real argument is that some of these guys were married, and so could have been subject to blackmail. I'm kind of curious about what they'd nail the single guys for, though. I mean, military guys getting hookers overseas is not exactly unheard of.

One or two guys I could see...but a dozen?

This looks like a coordinated effort by some foreign intelligence service to probe the security arrangements surrounding Barry. For what purpose we can only speculate.

I would say the evidence points to a handful of countries who have shown a historic fondness for “honey pot” operations.
