Editorial Details a State Department misconduct coverup
CBS News reports a leaked memo from the State Department Inspector General alleging sexual assaults by a security official in Beirut, prostitution by security detail on trips, and an underground drug ring near the U S Embassy in Iraq. Whistleblower Aurelia Fedenisa and retired agent Mike Pohelitz describe pressure to suppress cases and high level involvement. A stand down on an ambassador found to solicit prostitutes prompts officials in Washington to take action, while concerns rise about hostile intelligence awareness and systemic corruption at the department prompting calls for a full congressional inquiry.
