3 Secret Service Agents Suspended Over Party Crashers

Well, someone has to get punished and it sure isn't going to be the white house:

WASHINGTON — Three Secret Service officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into how two uninvited guests managed to crash President Obama’s first state dinner last week, the director of the service said Thursday.The director, Mark Sullivan, revealed the suspensions under heavy questioning from members of a Congressional panel looking into the incident.

Mr. Sullivan told the House Homeland Security Committee that an initial investigation had shown it was “human error” that allowed two aspiring reality television contestants, Tareq and Michaele Salahi, to penetrate security around the White House.

They may have been responsible, but if only secret service agents fall on the sword then no lessons have been learned.
