Re: If prostitution is legal in Columbia...
Prostitutes, whether legal or not, are absolutely a security risk. It's not like a secret service agent would be ignorant of that, either.
National Security issues - a prostitute could be part of a larger scheme to gather intelligence, a connection to a drug cartel, an info gathering for a plot against the President.
I don't care if the Secret Service want to avail themselves of legal prostitution --- when they are on vacation in Columbia --- but when the tax payers are sending them to Columbia as part of their jobs to protect the President, they represent the USA and should be on their best behavior and not embarrasing the president or compromising his security. This was just plain dumb.
I think we need a good look at how the Secret Service operates and tighten things up. (Non invited guests at a State dinner and now this??)
Glad I'm not the only one stuck on this. Except my country self was thinking, "Columbia, SC has some sketchy characters, but I'm pretty certain prostitution is still illegal. That's not what they mean by "gamecocks."
Uh, but yeah. Secret Service agents probably shouldn't be getting their rocks off with foreign hookers, on or off the clock, for all the reasons stated before.
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
Good one!
A ss agent gets laid, then blackmailed by the prostitute - oops, security risk. Even if legal in Colombia, I think we can assume a) they knew they would get in trouble for it, if caught and b) some, maybe most, of them are married and would like to stay married.
I'm not sure that it matters whether or not prostitution is legal in Colombia. I would think secret service agents take a vow to uphold US laws?
You are either being obtuse or Canadian. Which is it?
oh my gosh thank you. I was having trouble getting through the thread because of that.
That aside - ditto HAB, Nitaw and Y4M. It doesn't matter if prostitution is legal in Colombia or not, really. This was wrong for a whole variety of reasons and frankly when you are part of the Secret Service, you are held to a bit of a higher standard in my opinion because you do have access to very sensitive information.
You watch either too much or too little South Park.
You're late to that party. Somebody else already pointed out our spelling errors. Many apologies for the offense.
