(CBS News) CBS News has uncovered documents that show the State Department may have covered up allegations of illegal and inappropriate behavior within their ranks.
The Diplomatic Security Service, or the DSS, is the State Department’s security force, charged with protecting the secretary of state and U.S. ambassadors overseas and with investigating any cases of misconduct on the part of the 70,000 State Department employees worldwide.
CBS News’ John Miller reports that according to an internal State Department Inspector General’s memo, several recent investigations were influenced, manipulated, or simply called off. The memo obtained by CBS News cited eight specific examples. Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut “engaged in sexual assaults” on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s security detail “engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries” — a problem the report says was “endemic.”
The memo also reveals details about an “underground drug ring” was operating near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and supplied State Department security contractors with drugs.

Scandal number five: Insider-trading probe of Medicare announcement reveals hundreds of HHS employees had secret info

Mr. President and former Secretary Clinton,
Instead of castigating those who embrace short-term commitments, you should laud their bravery. Who would choose a lifestyle leading to such shame and embarrassment? They were born this way. It’s time for a John Pride parade!

I’m surprised that any detail assigned to Hillary would have an appetite left. It seems to me that the next career move would be to a monastery.
I brought this up last September here.
I don’t know where this side story about prostitution is going, it might be a smokescreen or diversion to take the heat off the real question – what the hell was DSS thinking in leaving the ambassador unprotected, in a newly opened embassy, in a country we have been at war with since 1981 ( the Gulf shootdown ). Very few embassies on Planet Earth deserved more attention than this one.
