Did US Secret Service Hire Prostitutes in Cartagena?
11 members of the US Secret Service were sent home after they were accused of bringing prostitutes back to their Cartagena, Colombia hotel.
Five members of the US military were also sent home; none of their names have been divulged. Also, while reports of the allegations swirl through the media, nobody has said who originally made these accusations.
The Secret Service had arrived in Cartagena to prepare for a visit by US President Barack Obama.
Prostitution is Legal in Colombia
Prostitution is legal in parts of Colombia (designated "tolerance zones"); if the allegations are true, the Secret Service agents may not have violated any local laws. However, leaving aside Colombia's problem with human trafficking, hiring prostitutes runs counter to the image that the US government wants to project abroad. Somewhat ironic, considering the US history of intervention in Central and South America.
Both sides of the aisle favor an investigation into the Secret Service scandal, but how deep do you expect a probe like this to go?
"I had a breakfast meeting to discuss trade and drugs, but the only thing the other delegates wanted to talk about was the story of the agents and the hookers," said one diplomat.

SECRET SERVICE HO-TEL SCANDAL DIVERTS ATTENTION FROM POSSIBLE RADIATION WEAPON ATTACKS ON OBAMA, BIDEN: VETERAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA JOURNO VIC LIVINGSTON
Does the prostitution scandal deflect attention from an even more troubling concern over presidential security? Both President Obama and Vice President Biden exhibit symptoms that appear to be consistent with silent, invisible electromagnetic weapon attack: POTUS' profusion of facial moles, gaunt appearance, weight loss; VPOTUS' public sudden sleep spells, likely preceded and followed by severe ear-ringing and vertigo. A court filing several years ago documented that the U.S. Secret Service is utilizing electromagnetic weaponry, as are other agencies and commands. Is it possible that an electromagnetic weapon system has been turned against our nation's top leaders? The reporter who first exposed the U.S. government's nationwide cell tower based "multifunctional radio frequency directed energy weapon system" (U.S. Patent 7629918, Raytheon) says yes, and asks whether U.S. government officials are investigating possible criminal misuse of radio frequency radiation weapony: http://viclivingston.blogspot.com/2011/12/u.htmlhttp://nowpublic.com/world/rule-law-morality-die-usa-fusion-center-slow-kill-genocide
