Drug Enforcement Administration agents allegedly had “sex parties” with prostitutes hired by local drug cartels overseas over a period of several years, according to a report released Thursday by the Justice Department’s watchdog.
The report did not specify the country where the parties occurred, but a law enforcement official familiar with the matter identified it as Colombia.
Seven of the 10 DEA agents alleged to have participated in the gatherings — most of which took place at an agent’s “quarters” leased by the U.S. government — admitted to having attended the parties, the report found. The agents, some of whom had top-secret security clearances, received suspensions of two to 10 days.
Former police officers in Colombia also alleged that three DEA supervisory special agents were provided with money, expensive gifts and weapons from drug cartel members, according to the report.
“Although some of the DEA agents participating in these parties denied it, the information in the case file suggested they should have known the prostitutes in attendance were paid with cartel funds,” according to the 131-page report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz. (Read more from “Report: DEA Agents Had ‘Sex Parties’ with Prostitutes Hired by Drug Cartels” HERE)
Nothing surprises me these days. Much more of this and the US will be worse than the worse of third world holes.
If Obama&Co are above the law so are we.
Agents
“Why would the cartels not secretly FILM any DEA.guy at an orgy?”
BINGO! That’s why integrity is so important and why aggressively firing or prosecuting those that have demonstrated misbehavior and lack of integrity. Too often they get slap on wrist when they need fired or more.
When those with top secret clearances allow themselves through affairs and orgies to become vulnerable, they need fired and black balled from ever serving in that capacity again. They make the USA vulnerable. That’s why I believed that Gen Petraeous needed more than a slap on the wrist. As a flag officer he knew better and he set a very bad example as did the government. We need to see deterrents.
Pretty classy there, DEA. What a bunch of compromised, integrity-free criminal losers.
“The problem is that the administration has filled these agencies with cronies and feel-good hires. “
Filling important jobs with cronies, toadies, and lackeys has become the America way, and a significant contributor to the decline of America. It is so bad that the top dogs are afraid of prosecuting or penalizing those involved because they believe it will turn into a whistle blower fest that will inevitably lead up the ladder. So they let things slide.
My expanding cynicism has made me feel there is typically more to our major malfunctions like 9-11 or the big 2009-9 recession than gets reported. No one got disciplined or at Fannie & Wall Street prosecuted. It is because we have a political elite culture where the motto of our leaders has become “we need to look forward not backward” and hold no one accountable because accountability will rock the boats and push blame up the ladder.
