The prostitution scandal during the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia has become even more embarrassing now that reports indicate that as many as 20 Secret Service agents from the United States may have been involved, as well as five military personnel.Granted, prostitution is legal in parts of Colombia, but many of the men involved with Obamas fleet of protection are reportedly married. The incident began when a female overnight guest at Hotel Caribe in Cartagena did not leave the hotel by 7:00 a.m., which is the policy of the hotel for overnight guests. When the hotel management went knocking on a hotel room door looking for her, the woman was arguing with the agent in her room who refused to pay her $47 for the night.agent eventually paid her, but it was too late for the scandal to be avoided. The hotel management had already called the police, and a report on the argument between the prostitute and the agent was written. As customary with such incidents where police reports are written regarding American foreigners, the police report was given to the United States Embassy in Colombia....The U.S. Congressional House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is investigating the incident. The committee’s chairman, Darrell Issa, a Republican from California, told CBS News.
