Inquiring minds want to know

This is interesting. If you've been following the "Denver Three," where three law abiding citizens were thrown out of a Bush simulated town meeting event for having a bumper sticker on their car that said, "No War for Oil," then you know they were thrown out by someone claiming to be a Secret Service agent. The Secret Service says the guy is not an agent and they know who he is but they're not telling anyone else.

In a sign of, one hopes, growing frustration with White House secrecy in the federal legislative branch, Colorado Reps. Mark Udall and Diana DeGette and Sen. Ken Salazar announced they want to know who the guy is and are pressing for a meeting with Bush's SS administrators.

As Jim Spencer remarks in the Denver Post, "The Secret Service's job is to protect the president from harm, not embarrassment." Impersonating a federal agent is a serious crime. Time for the SS to cough up the info and explain why the guy is not being prosecuted. God knows, if you or I had done this, we would be in Gitmo by now.
