Leave it to a woman to keep the boys in line. According to the Washington Post, a top female member of the Secret Service was responsible for booting 11 agents out of Colombia after they allegedly solicited prostitutes while preparing for the President’s arrival in Cartagena.
Despite supervisor Paula Reid’s best efforts to contain the situation, the sex scandal that splashed across front pages back in the U.S. completely overshadowed the agents’ mission at the Summit of the Americas. But while details of the scandal from bar to brothel to bedroom have been widely reported, Reid’s actions to stop the agents’ misdeeds has flown largely under the radar.
The Post Profile describes Reid as a 46-year-old black woman, tall and lean, with a reputation for being “exacting” and “steely.” The 21-year veteran of the Secret Service had recently been promoted to head of the agency’s Miami bureau, where she oversees the 150 agents that work throughout South America.

Comment....The way rumors are flying around in the news these days you never know what is true and what isn't..I call it, "Climbing on the band wagon". From what I can see this story makes the most sense...It sounds like this 21 year veteran stepped up and did the right thing. She is protecting whats left of the integrity and dignity of the institution and she did her job..I'm sure she is not the only one.. Why does stuff like this happen? Personally I don't like the, "Boys will be boys attitude" because that sort of makes it OK. I think its a combination of the way society is today and not teaching morals, respect and common sense. You need to explain to these guys that just because they do things on TV and in the movies doesn't mean its real... Can you teach common sense? Yes, my Dad did a good job pointing me in the right direction...
