The allure of beautiful South American prostitutes is hard to resist when you’re a long ways from home.
How is Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano going to explain her crap about the Secret Service sex scandal being an isolated incident. She is too naïve to be in charge of homeland security if she didn’t lie when she made that statement.
NOW THREE DEA AGENTS INVESTIGATED FOR HIRING PROSTITUTES IN COLUMBIA IN SCANDAL UNRELATED TO SECRET SERVICE DEBACLE
Misdeeds involving prostitutes comes one month after Secret Service prostitution scandal in the same place

A new investigation may reveal that the Secret Service isn’t the only government agency that has hired prostitutes for Colombian sex romps.
The Justice Department Inspector General's office said Monday it is investigating possible misconduct by three Drug Enforcement Administration workers in Colombia unrelated to the Secret Service incident with prostitutes at a Cartagena hotel that erupted last month.
The agency said the probe began based on info provided by the Secret Service and that the DEA is making its employees available for interviews by the Department of Justice Inspector General's investigators.
CBS News reported that three DEA agents were under investigation for allegedly hiring prostitutes in Cartagena.
In a statement to the network, Justice Department spokesman Jay Lerner said: 'The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General is investigating allegations about potential misconduct by Drug Enforcement Administration personnel in Colombia, unrelated to the Cartagena hotel Secret Service incident.'
The IG said it is receiving full cooperation from the DEA and that the IG is coordinating the investigation with the Homeland Security Department's inspector general, the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service and the Secret Service.
The DEA, which enforces U.S. controlled-substance laws, has permanent offices in Colombia.
The Bogota-based DEA regional director, who oversees the Cartagena office, did not immediately return email or cellphone messages.
A statement to CBS from the DEA said: "DEA takes allegations of misconduct very seriously and will take appropriate personnel action, if warranted, upon the conclusion of the OIG investigation."
A dozen Secret Service officers and supervisors and 12 other U.S. military personnel have been implicated in the April 12 incident, which took place before President Obama's visit to the Summit of the Americas.
Eight people with the Secret Service, including two supervisors, have been axed from their posts as a result of their involvement.
The Secret Service is moving to permanently revoke the security clearance for one other employee, and three others have been cleared of serious wrongdoing.
Prostitution is legal in Colombia.
