Secret Service clearances yanked in Colombia probe

Of course we know, the real issue is that they got caught, not that did it. Does anyone believe that this is an isolated event? If they were at a brothel, it stands to reason that they had been there before and probably had a hook up. The person that 'dropped a dime' on them was either new or just really needed her $47.00. Either way, this story is not going away anytime soon. I suspect there will be a lot more agents losing their clearances, which trust me, is a pretty big deal.

The Secret Service has yanked the security clearances of 11 members accused of bringing prostitutes to a hotel in Colombia ahead of last week's pan-American summit, government officials with knowledge of the investigation said Monday.

The investigation also involves at least five and possibly 10 U.S. military personnel who were working with the Secret Service ahead of President Barack Obama's trip to the Summit of the Americas. They are accused of bringing prostitutes to their Cartagena hotel Wednesday night, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Monday his personnel "let the boss down" with their conduct.

The Secret Service agents and officers involved range in experience from relative newcomers to nearly 20-year veterans, and all have been interviewed at least once, two government officials with knowledge of the probe told CNN. Their security clearances have been pulled while an investigation is under way and could be reinstated if they are cleared, the officials said.
