What's this country coming to when Secret Service agents aren't allowed to blow of a little steam? They didn't even do anything illegal, since prostitution is legal in Colombia.

Reminds me of this:

The head of the California Fish and Game Commission has come under attack for killing a mountain lion during a hunt in Idaho... Hunting mountain lions is legal in Idaho but has been outlawed in California.

In an empire, local law is meaningless. Ask any medicinal mary-j users.

I believe there was talk of the Secret Service "partying" a bit too much the night before Kennedy's killing.

Give me VERY straight laced Secret Service agents THANK YOU!

Recent books by Clint Hill (the agent who jumped into JFK's limo) and others have acknowledged that some agents were drinking and partying at Jack Ruby's club the night before that tragic motorcade. According to unconfirmable rumor, part of the still classified background material of the Warren Report points to agents with hangovers who neglected their responsibility to "sweep" the windows in the buildings of the motorcade route and were slower than slow in reacting when the shots were fired.

Ermita, once you're a federal government worker they live in a world with a bunch of extra rules slapped on them (like the military). And U.S. gov policy is no prostitution ever.

Well, someone in the Secret Service has to earn their pay. They probably didn't take their boss out with them. :)

Yeah, it's not about the laws.

If they were in the Netherlands would it be cool for them to toke up because its legal? No.

But in reality this wouldn't have been an issue if they'd all paid like they were spose to. Then pro wouldn't have to go complain to the police.

Going to Colombia and not "visiting" prostis is like going to Orlando and not visiting Disney World - you have to do it.

When you take that job, there are certain things you can't do when you are responsible for the safety of the leader of the free world. They accept that responsibility when they take the job.

LOL SC! I think they were responsible for keeping the leader of the free world with prostitutes and his wife away.

@ jester214
The dutch pot comment is a bit different they wouldn't be charged with a crime they would be fired as they cant prove that the drug use was only in the netherlands. Drug use is against the employment practices of the us govt. Unless there is something directly in their contract or orders about the hooker thing if they were to be disciplined I think they have a case for employment violations.

Hell if you read the full article it almost sounded like the one guy who didnt want to pay possibly didnt know she was a pro. And it seems more that they are upset at the 2 bombs that went off.
