The Secret Service officer responsible for the recall of 11 agents in a dispute with Colombian prostitutes over payment to Dania Suarez, has been revealed as Paula Reid, a rising black star in the agency. She recently became the head of the agencys Miami office after 21 years on the force. Ms. Reid uncovered the scandal and alerted her superiors about the egregious behavior of the agents. Paula Reid was in Cartagena ahead of President Obamas trip, laying the groundwork for his arrival at the Summit of the Americas, when she heard that her agents were involved in a fight at the Hotel Caribe, according to the Washington Post. The disagreement ended when police was called and was sparked by one agent refusing to pay local hooker, Dania Suarez, who had spent the night in his room.
A little background on Paula Reid:
She grew up in Maryland, and has served in the White House as well as Miami since joining the Secret Service in 1990.

“... a rising black star ...” - something about the imagery such a phrase evokes ...
A rising black star?
What does that mean? I seriously think I’m picking up on things that maybe I shouldn’t, but does this mean she is black?
Or is this an agency name? o.O
When all SS are blacks and women, future Prez’s will be sooooo much safer..!
This diversity stuff is sooo great..!
And we’re all so much closer together now, right?
Isn't that racial profiling? Why do we have to know she is "black"? Isn't American good enough?
philman_36..gets credit for seeing the name in an article at the Dail Mail...
Post #25 has the link on this thread I posted with ...uh ...slight misspelling in the title:
Senator demands WH staff investigation: Prostitutes ...ubderage?....(Title reworked)
Couldn't find anything at the Washington Post,...may have missed it.
This lady did her JOB,.,,,,
O.K. so this is correct, she is black - so they state rising black star.
Now let’s reverse this. Papers state she is a rising white star.
How do you think people would feel about that? Disgusting!
Isn’t a black star really a black hole?
Kudos to her.
Sooo much new weird nomenclature from this case:
1. “White hispanic”
2. “Rising black star”
Another puzzling thing about these new times is the heavy use of PRISON words in public education: “Lock down” etc.
Rather telling, don’t you think..?
You also have the choice between a white dwarf and a red giant. Take your pick.
Should help her career.....
” Ms. Reid uncovered the scandal and alerted her superiors about the egregious behavior of the agents.”
I thought the agents were outed when one refused to pay?
What a shame.
I no longer believe ANYTHING the buerocracy says. I do not trust pictures and I no longer believe what I see with my own eyes, because of holographics which will be used to usher in the false messiah.
Did the working girl in Cartagena really think that the SS agent would agree to US$800 for ... whatever?
Somehow I think she was trying to scam them. With the conversion, COL$800 pesos seems to be about 50 cents. So there must have been some bad communication.
This entire episode is strange, and may only be explained by alcohol and too much blood rushing to the wrong head.
Some here at FR would designate me as a white dwarf, despite being 6'2"/220lbs, 'cause I'm so dense.
{;^)
With her picture run in a paper? Her career is over.
Create a scandal or just use one of many likely opportunities (SS is human after all). Use as excuse to purge the ranks of CONSTITUTIONAL loyalists. Replace with a “palace guard”. All hail Caesar.
