US Secret Service Finds Reputation in Line of Fire

The exposed Secret Service secrets have put the storied agency under a
different line of fire, as lawmakers and internal investigators try to get
to the bottom of officers' behavior and any implications for the safety of
those they protect, starting with President Barack Obama.
.
Eight Secret Service officers have been fired and three disciplined, and a
dozen military personnel have had their security clearances suspended, in
the unfolding investigation of sexual misbehavior by agents who traveled
to Cartagena, Colombia, this month to set up security for Obama's visit.
.
The agency says it is also looking into whether agents hired prostitutes
and strippers in El Salvador in advance of the president's trip last year.
More reports are emerging of allegedly ribald conduct, off duty on
official trips.
.
Altogether, the perception is forming of frat boys being frat boys, except
these ones have top security clearance, access to the president and
constant knowledge of his whereabouts.
.
"They're on the receiving end of this incredibly powerful fire hose" of
allegations and rumors, says Eric Dezenhall, a scandal-management
consultant and author who counsels corporations and institutions. "They're
going to be under it for a while. You cannot control this torrent."
.
As a young aide in Ronald Reagan's White House, Dezenhall looked upon
Secret Service agents as "superhuman" and their professional culture "as
the coolest thing in the world."
.
The code words "Rawhide" for Reagan, "Stagecoach" for the helicopter (and
now "Renegade" for Obama) feed into the cool factor. So does the one
thing that most people have known about the trusted band of bodyguards,
their willingness to take a bullet for those they protect. Talk about
commitment.
.
"I just don't think their reputation could be much higher," Dezenhall
says. "But, as with happens with everybody now, we're going to see the
humanity in it, which takes some of the mythology away from it."
