CARTAGENA, Colombia ABC News has learned exclusively that the Secret Service officials accused of misconduct in Colombia revealed their identities by boasting at a Cartagena brothel that they worked for President Obama.
Partying at the Pley Club Wednesday night, eleven members of the presidents advance team allegedly bragged we work for Obama and were here to protect him.
The officials spent the night throwing back expensive whiskey and enlisting the services of the clubs prostitutes, according to a bouncer at the club and a police source.
Sources tell ABC News several of the men agreed to pay for, and received, services from the highest category prostitutes available at the club, who charge upwards of $200.
The men paid for the sexual services in advance but when it came time to settle the bill, there was a dispute over the charges.
The group became belligerent and the police were called. The argument between the officials and the bouncers from the club escalated and ultimately spilled onto the street, according to several eye witness accounts.
(Video report at link worth watching. Includes visit to club and mention that up to 20 U.S. military from all four branches involved, bringing number of U.S. personnel involved up to 31.)

Disappointing, could these people have at least kept the whole thing as much to themselves as possible?
To: kristinn
When this first broke,I kept open the possibility that the guys had been told to bring back girls for some VIPs and then ended up taking the fall when it went wrong somehow. It now seems there were no VIPs with them, this is all on them alone. Hard to imagine such stupidity.

Hmmm...this is a totally different version of the original story, which had the confrontation happen at the hotel. The way it is told here makes it sound like it was a barroom brawl between the Secret Service and their military buddies on one side, and the bar owner/pimp and the Cartagena cops on the other.
Note that the local cops have been told to shut up about it in order to protect the Secret Service from any further embarrassment.

>Yet another version of the ever shifting story.
Something about this doesn’t make sense.
First it was 10-12 fellows in the SS.
Now it’s 30 folks.
First is was at the hotel.
Now it’s at a brothel.
First they’re arguing over $48.
Now they’re blowing loads of cash and admitting who they are and why they’re there.
Theories that make sense:
1. Obama want’s these guys fired and will do anything to get the out of the way.
2. Large amounts of the SS and military were actually acting completely unprofessionally and did what was begin said. They underestimated the bill and were overcharged.
3. Putin? Sanchez? Some outside power is trying to screw with American security? They were told the services were much cheaper and busted after a severely inflated bill?
4. Secret Service were deemed with finding clean prostitutes for higher ups and got busted.
Where are the names? What will happen to them? Could we get any statements from the SS/Military on what actually happened?

A lot of information changed rather quickly didn’t it? I think a major White House/media cover up is in progress now. Something we cannot imagine happened and the truth cannot be revealed at all costs.

kristinn, I am still skeptical about the whole thing.
This story smells from day one.
What these men did and what they reportedly said is so far beyond the pale of their responsibilities that I cannot believe it is true. Not just the lack of decorum, but the entire jeopardizing of the tenets of even basic security was violated.
This is when I wish we had an inside guy like Gary Aldrich to tell us what is really going down.

My guess is - and this seems the most logical with Obama in charge - is that Putin/Hugo/Castro sent some hot girls to the hotel to beckon some of the suckers to the brothel, and some ended up visiting the rooms.
Laptops and phones were stolen and are now in the hands of foreign agents.
The SS/military arrests were arranged as an afterthought so the agents could not go out and confront the girls that took the sensitive equipment.

I’m betting these are recently hired SS agents who were misbehaving. They will now charge the entire group to avoid even more embarrassment.

1. For PFCs, I'm sure it would not be the first time this kind of activity goes on.
2. The USSS were staying at the Caribe on the US Tax Payers’ Dime. Just like when I'm on a business trip, I'm on the company's dime, I won't fondle the staff nor do I hire whores. Period.
3. I expect more from professionals when on the Tax Payers’ Dime.
These dumbos are in a heap of well deserved trouble. They are Idiots, especially at their status and age. Idiots!

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. This story is a big set-up for something, something that helps Hussein, otherwise the msm would never be on it like this. There’s a shoe somewhere that hasn’t dropped. Also it changes the focus on the Zimmerman story that spun beyond their control. People starting to open their eyes and unload their “white guilt”. It’s too soon to have that happen (whites aren’t yet a minority in the US).

Just more evidence of financial mismanagement and waste in our government. Along with Fannie/Freddie, GSA, SS party abuse, congress-crooks insider info trading, Jet-thief Michelle Obozo, Mack-daddy Obozo vacationing 17 times in 37 months, Fast and Furious...and on and on and on.
This government needs to be deconstructed and rebuilt from the ground up. This is outrageous!!

Taking the initial story as gospel is bound to be misleading later on. It’s best to let the facts develop rather than focus on the discrepancies between the rumors. The speed of the internet in disseminating unverified information makes even truer Winston Churchill’s old quote; “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”
