drinking heavily, visiting strip clubs and cavorting with women for hireIn other words, of acting like men. This is what men do when they travel on business. If their wives want to get pissed off about visits to prostitutes, that's their business, but I don't see how it's any of mine.
What bothers me is that our government would waste its money "investigating" behavior that is both normal and, in Colombia, perfectly legal, ruining the careers of men who are probably very good at their jobs. To add to the injustice, sources are telling the Post that (of course) this sort of thing has gone on in the Secret Service for a long time, so the people being fired now are only doing what the people firing them have done in the past.
The real scandal is our need to find fault and condemn, and the pleasure we take in outrage.
The specific problem was that these men brought the prostitutes back to the rooms that were supposedly secured for the POTUS visit. There might well have been security preparation documents in these rooms where inappropriate eyes might have seen them.
ReplyDeleteI can easily see a "spy" getting herself picked up and taken back to one of these rooms in order to gather intelligence to use against POTUS/USA.
Absent that element I completely agree with you. If they hadn't brought the pro's back to these rooms, no public harm/foul.
