Michaele and Tareq Salahi Slip Past Security, and the Story isn’t Front Page News?
News Media in the USA sucks. They (particularly Good Morning America) has concentrated on the Salahis as party crashers and media whores, and haven’t spent enough time on the fact that the Secret Service was asleep on the job.
First off, the Salahis deserve jail time, but not much. They knew what they were doing was wrong, but their intentions don’t appear to have been to commit murder.
Second off, the fact that the Secret Service did NOT do their job indicates one thing: those under their protection are not safe. They have the PRESIDENT to protect. The most powerful man in the world – he controls the most powerful military force in the world. No wonder 9/11 happened. The Secret Service was likely asleep on the job. We just didn’t know it then.
I read some of the comments on the linked article below, and someone brought up that some Northwest pilots were allowed to fly for over an hour, off course, without contact from the air traffic controllers. We may never know if the air traffic controllers contacted the Secret Service, but that was also a definite failure of national security.
So what do we do? We spend billions every year in homeland security, and we can’t even protect the president in the White House. Terrible!
