"Wheels up rings" is a common position, at least one observer
said, but other top defenders, who have been defending the President
What starts out as a payment dispute between a client in Colombia Hotel and
support two weeks ago presented the career of three members of the intelligence
services. With each new turn of the scandal of the escalation hypothesis is
that there were 11 officials to prepare the visit of the President to call
prostitutes involved in Barack Obama brings a fresh review in Cartagena and
adds disgrace historic proportions for the elite agency.
But the news that two of the three on Wednesday deported 20 years old, who
are senior, became against the involved persons experience managers just
questions about the collapse of an organization that prides itself on high
standards of ethical conduct and professional system problems-or below.
Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican Committee for national security of the
Senate, who said they are told about the investigation by Mark Sullivan,
Director of the secret service, it is hard to believe that it is not due.
Comments by others, is said to fear that the episode is "cultural".
Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, who chairs the House misunderstanding
and government improvement committee, has raised similar concerns.
The Washington Post meanwhile reported that they heard the married members
of staff, while an aircraft elevator in informal currency jokes: "wheel
rings."
Ronald Kessler, a journalist and writer, who helped break the story, he
said, does not believe that such behaviour was common to Cartagena. However, he
believes that it is a symptom of a culture of "bad management",
neglect and corner cutting.
Kessler told the guardian: "secret service can be managed more
functionality and not enough staff".
He throws Sullivan, who was held for six years, led to a reduction in the
corner, he pretends that the irresponsibility and contempt for the rules. He gave
examples of neglect "basic security" is nothing else than an event
that will be a magnetometer at the presidential elections, as well as smaller
teams struggle with the latest weapons and guns is not the time for physics,
and weapons training for officials.
Asked what he believed was behind the scandal of Colombia, told Kessler:
"If your boss, OK, it is said that people in the case without the
magnetometer screening will say if they secure a few then why don't I need to
take it seriously." This is my personal opinion. »
He believes that the incident represents a breach of security Colombia
"very difficult."
"Prostitutes can sing, can access their terrorists agent." you
could be resolved later, bugs, plants of the Russian special services abroad.
Tareq and Michaele SALAHI, the State of Obama in the White House in 2009,
Kessler, two candidates for aspiring reality TV, crashed the dinner as further
evidence of low standards, under the eyes of Sullivan.
Sullivan was forced to apologise after exiting that the Salahis are managed
by three-point cross, although the intelligence was not on the guest list. He
admitted that in the form of military officials, not the process.
A
'pressure-cooker' atmosphere
The
secret service has been determined by misbehavior allegations in the past.
Article in u.s.
news and World report, June 2002, the view of the Agency painted "laden
with alcohol problems of crime, as well as reports of extramarital relations
between staff and staff in the White House.
Monitoring units in September, reported in the "advertising",
where the loss of hands down works "with greater responsibility fell to
the environment. Reported in a uniform and difficult to manage as difficult to
manage for a long time with the staff, it causes pressure to hire and train new
agents can quickly lead to bad recruited people.
In the past ten years, the Agency has less cocky incidents are connected
and the good OLE boy "moved" out of the picture, in the past, get
that, according to the New York Times.
So Far.
Kessler said that the income is always a problem and offers to the current
level of more than 5% of the total and more than 12% in the Division.
The Agency did not immediately at the request of the guardian for the
current form of the nursing staff, 3200 representatives and worked 1300 persons
in military attire. But one ex- agent, who was accountable
for recruiting new staff around 2002, said the erosion rate had never been a
concern.
The former official Dave Wilkinson, who is running for President George
Bush SR., Bill Clinton and George w. Bush, disagreed with Kessler had said that
the scandal was a systematic problem of liberal norms in Sullivan.
Wilkinson said: "of course, there is one or two unhappy people is very
low. Each agency's budget cuts can offer advice about fraud. But you still have
to make sure you have the funds that they need to protect the President.
Wilkinson, withdrew its services in 2005 and is currently the President of
the Atlanta Police Foundation, through the ranks with Sullivan and served this Assistant
is responsible for the information of the President, said that he felt that the
episode of Colombia is a unique case.
He said: "I have never been there in my 22 years of service." It
is a culture of tolerance against any personal guilt, NULL, in particular
members of the President. Just peer pressure enough on the right side and then
close. »
Wilkinson, he said, "is not part of the team at the front, instead of
the details of the Presidents of the participating officers.
"On the way to the safety of the President threatened officials and
agents, but this does not diminish the harsh, because it opens the door to
disrupt security."
He said the "Wheels up" so called clients, followed by visits to
badly interpreted and referred to as a whole, thanks to the Ambassador of
months of hard work.
He is described as a "shameful violation of SALAHI, but he
insisted," Mark Sullivan is one of the most dedicated people I've ever
worked with. "Professional, focused on the task of the Agency for the
people, you will find here.
The political fight from the
Colombia disaster continues in Washington, as the number of investigations has twisted. These include studies of the
intelligence services of the professional liability, which directs the work of
the Agency and the House National Security Committee, which oversees
intelligence service. The General Inspector of the Ministry of national
security also reported and special study, which runs in the 10 members in the
United States Army, which failed in Colombia, would participate in.
"Agents I
know anger".
Jeffrey Robinson, permanent sponsor in the history: life inside the officer
on secret service has said that angry with men's officials for the service. But
it is also noted that there was a threat to safety, minimal.
Robinson told the guardian: "these guys who were in support. They're
not part of the Presidential General staff, PPD (Presidential Guard), none of
them have the support only know what you need to know.
"These guys take the risk and all other owners. Yeah, he may have his
stolen guns, stolen identity, of course. It has been 11 guys on the mixture of
alcohol and testosterone, and they were stupid, as their careers.
"Agents I know anger". This is a great dilemma. You're angry at
11 guys scoring. They are angry, but not in which broke the security of the
President and who is to say they had no knowledge of how they are used.
Robinson said, as the worst scandal to hit the Office, as they are just
"playing Kessley political."
Why it's a big problem, is a mystery the spirit as the naval station is
corp. "they are very proud of what they do, and these 11 guys destroy the
image of the intelligence services. You have made the news.
